lockrecord

command=lockrecord&<parameter>=<value>&...

• database (String) database in which to lock a record. The name of this database must have been specified in the adlibweb.xml file.
• priref (Integer) priref of record to lock.
• output (String) [optional] output format to be returned. Values for output can be either json or xml (xml is the default, so you don't need to specify that explicitly). However, the output format produced by jQuery applications is always JSON, so you don't need to specify the output type there either.
  Read more about JSON output here.
• callback (String) [optional] returns JSON output wrapped in brackets with your callback function name, for AJAX requests: <callback function name>( <JSON output> ); You don't need to specify output=json, because the output format is JSON by default.

Description

To update (edit and save) an existing record via de Axiell WebAPI, you have to know the record number (priref) of the record you want to update. This priref can be obtained by searching for the desired record first, in any of the different ways described elsewhere in this documentation. Although not a strict requirement, it is probably safest to lock the record before editing it, so that no-one else can edit the record simultaneously. After updating or writing a record it will be unlocked automatically. Only if you decide not to update a locked record, you'll have to unlock it explicitly.
