Abstract

A system includes identification of editing of an active document by a user, and, in response to the identified editing, setting of enqueue locks on the active document, creating a draft document corresponding to the active document and an enqueue context associated with the draft document, storing the enqueue context with the draft document and attaching the enqueue context to a request session, determining an eTag of the active document and storing the eTag with the draft document, and associating the user with the draft document as its exclusive user.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a memory storing processor-executable process steps;
and
a processor to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to:
identify editing of an active document by a user;
and
in response to the identified editing:
set enqueue locks on the active document;
create:
1. a draft document corresponding to the active document, and 2. an enqueue context associated with the draft document, wherein the enqueue context is created to associate the set enqueue locks with the draft document;
store the enqueue context with the draft document and attach the enqueue context to a request session;
determine an eTag of the active document and store the eTag with the draft document;
and
associate the user with the draft document as its exclusive user
determine one or more modifying operations to the draft document, each of the one or more modifying operations occurring within a configured durable enqueue lock expiration time of a prior modifying operation;
detect that a time since a last determined modifying operation exceeds the configured durable enqueue lock expiration time;
and
in response to the detection, dequeue all durable enqueue locks bound to the enqueue context associated with the draft document and send a notification to the user.

determine one or more modifying operations to the draft document, each of the one or more modifying operations occurring within a configured durable enqueue lock expiration time of a prior modifying operation;
detect that a time since a last determined modifying operation exceeds the configured durable enqueue lock expiration time minus a warning interval;
and
in response to the detection, transmit a notification to the user indicating an upcoming lock expiration.

A method comprising:

identifying editing of an active document by a user;
and
in response to the identified editing:
setting enqueue locks on the active document;
creating:
1. a draft document corresponding to the active document, and 2. an enqueue context associated with the draft document, wherein the enqueue context is created to associate the set enqueue locks with the draft document;
storing the enqueue context with the draft document and attach the enqueue context to a request session;
determining an eTag of the active document and store the eTag with the draft document;
and
associating the user with the draft document as its exclusive user;
determining one or more modifying operations to the draft document, each of the one or more modifying operations occurring within a configured durable enqueue lock expiration time of a prior modifying operation;
detecting that a time since a last determined modifying operation exceeds the configured durable enqueue lock expiration time minus a warning interval;
and
in response to the detection, transmitting a notification to the user indicating an upcoming lock expiration.
