"Prevented" Lock Statuses?

Bob_Zimmerman — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 15:48:10 GMT

I'm working on ingesting lock information. In the API documentation, I see <object>.meta-info.lock is an enumeration with five values:

unlocked
locked by current session
locked by other session
prevented by current session
prevented by other session

The first three are pretty obvious, but I don't think I've ever seen the fourth and fifth. What do they mean?

@Omer_Kleinstern

I suspect the "prevented" conditions would come up when there's a larger system operation going on that locks changes, for example an IPS database update on the management.

Which specific documentation are you referencing to?

He's referring to our API documentation.
This "meta-info" is returned in the result of most API calls.

They are not currently used. Only the first three are expected to be returned.

Thanks! Now I get back to figuring out a good way to fetch tasks on a recurring basis.
