Description
Using the specified session ID an exclusive lock is obtained for the session on the version. The exclusive lock can only be obtained if no other shared or exclusive locks are present and the session currently holds a shared lock. The exclusive lock ensures read and write isolation for the session holding the lock. The exclusive lock is downgraded to a shared lock by using the stopEditing operation.
