摘要： A system for managing documents in a distributed computing environment, which may be bandwidth limited, includes a document locker server and a document locker client. The document locker client monitors user interaction with a version of a document locally replicated from a document server. Whenever the user attempts interaction with the document, such as editing or performing a workflow action, which would change said document, the document locker client requests a lock for the document from the document locker server. The document locker server grants a lock if the document is not already locked by another user and the document locally replicated is the latest version of the document. The document locker client allows the user to perform the operation if a lock is received, without having to replicate a version of the document to the local host.

摘要翻译： 用于在分布式计算环境中管理可能带宽限制的文档的系统包括文档更衣室服务器和文档更衣室客户机。 文档更衣室客户端监视与文档服务器本地复制的文档的版本的用户交互。 无论何时用户尝试与文档进行交互，例如编辑或执行工作流操作（将更改所述文档），文档锁定器客户端将从文档更衣室服务器请求文档的锁定。 如果文档尚未被其他用户锁定，并且本地复制的文档是文档的最新版本，则文档更衣室服务器将授予锁定。 文档储物柜客户端允许用户在接收到锁定的情况下执行操作，而不必将文档的版本复制到本地主机。
