REST - Document - Lock

REST-Interface

Zurück zur Übersicht

Document locks are used to prevent simultaneous updating of documents by different users. Before a document can be updated, a document lock has to be acquired using a self-generated unique lock id (possibly a GUID). The unique lock id must be used in subsequent requests to update the document, keep the document locked or to unlock it. If the user logs off, all document locks are automatically released.

Acquire or update document-lock

If a client wants to edit a document, it should first acquire a lock with a “unique lock id”.
