AutoVersion Enumeration

IT Hit WebDAV for .NET

Auto versioning modes supported by item to be used with versioning unaware clients.

[Visual Basic]
Public Enum AutoVersion
[C#]
public enum AutoVersion

Remarks

This enumeration determines how engine responds to WebDAV client requests that attempt to modify checked-in items content or properties. Each item that support versioning can function in one of the following auto-versioning modes:

NoAutoVersioning Mode. In this mode item must be checked-out before modifications. Clients that does not support DeltaV will not be able to modify checked-in items.

CheckOutCheckIn Mode. In this mode any WebDAV client applications will be able to modify checked-in items on server. Potentially many versions may be created. Workflow for versioning-unaware WebDAV client:

  1. Lock request (optional).
  2. Modification request:
    • Auto check-out performed.
    • Modifications performed.
    • Auto check-in performed.
  3. Unlock request (optional).

CheckOutUnlockedCheckIn Mode. In this mode any WebDAV client applications will be able to modify checked-in items on server. If WebDAV client locks the item prior to update, the item will be checked in during unlock. This mode reduces the number of versions created by versioning unaware clients. The item is never left checked-out. This mode is recommended if you need to support both Class 1 and Class 2 WebDAV clients. Workflow for versioning-unaware WebDAV client:

  1. Lock request (optional).
  2. Modification request:
    • Auto check-out performed.
    • Modifications performed.
    • Auto check-in performed if item not locked.
  3. Unlock request (optional).
    • Check-in performed.
    • Unlock performed.

CheckOut Mode. In this mode any WebDAV client applications will be able to modify checked-in items on server. If the item was not locked before the update it will be left in checked-out state after modifications. Workflow for versioning-unaware WebDAV client:

  1. Lock request (optional).
  2. Modification request:
    • Auto check-out performed.
    • Modifications performed.
  3. Unlock request (optional).
    • Check-in performed.
    • Unlock performed.

LockedCheckOut Mode. Only WebDAV client applications that lock item before the update will be able to modify checked-in item. This mode minimizes amount of versions created by versioning unaware clients. Class 1 WebDAV applications will not be able to modify checked-in items. Workflow for versioning-unaware WebDAV client:

  1. Lock request (required).
  2. Modification request:
    • Auto check-out performed.
    • Modifications performed.
  3. Unlock request (required).
    • Check-in performed.
    • Unlock performed.

Members

Member NameDescription
NoAutoVersioning Auto versioning is not supported for checked-in items. Modification requests of versioning unaware clients will fail if item was not checked-out.
CheckOutCheckIn Before any item modification (such as changing content or properties) by versioning unaware client engine will call CheckOut. After the item is modified CheckIn will be called.

This potentially can create a lot of versions.

CheckOutUnlockedCheckIn If client tries to modify checked-in item, engine will automatically call CheckOut. If item is not locked engine will call CheckIn when modification completes.

If item is locked, CheckIn will be called before the Unlock. If lock expires you must check-in item manually.

CheckOut If client tries to modify checked-in item, engine will automatically call CheckOut. The CheckIn will not be called.

If item is locked, CheckIn will be called before the Unlock. If lock expires you must check-in item manually.

LockedCheckOut If client tries to modify locked checked-in item, engine will automatically call CheckOut.

CheckIn will be called before the Unlock. If lock expires you must check-in item manually.

If item is not locked - update request will fail.
