Lock document based on field value

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 11:34:53 +0000

Hello,

I'm searching for a way to lock a document based on some value in the document itself, so if this value is 1 the document should be locked (no matter if someone is using it or not), apparently in MacroEdit it's using macro "IfReadOnly" to disable fields and "lock.htm" page to check the locking status using macro "GetLockStatus", so from where Efficy knows if this document is locked or not? and can we manipulate this process to make it based on 2 criteria only for documents (so if flag value is 1 or another user is editing the document then lock it)

Thank you for your help and advise in advance.

Best Regards.

Lock remains after a CloseContext in serverscripts

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 16:12:29 +0000

Hi again dear community^^,

I have a serverscript that is run by the user "admin" through the scheduleradmin.exe and that create a company record :

var ec = Database.OpenEditContext(ntComp, 0, false);

            try{
                Database.UpdateFields(ec, 0, VarArrayOf(["NAME"]), VarArrayOf([compName])); 

                Database.CommitChanges(ec, true);

                Database.Log("created : " + ds.FieldByName("K_COMPANY").AsInteger);
            }
            finally{
                Database.CloseContext(ec);
                Database.log('finally');
            }

but right after my code is executed within the lock timeout delay, if I go with my own user on the created company, I have the currently locked record error.

Is that normal?
