Hi Dave,
Regarding your comments on ERXEC (which I am using in all my EO's, or at least all my EO's extend ERXGenericRecord):

I always create new ECs for any task that is going to require editing.

Using Project Wonder's ERXEC makes this particularly painless as it handles the necessary EC locking automagically.

I have a long running background task.  If I do as suggested here:

In the task method itself:
- Create a new ObjectStoreCoordinator (use Wonder OSC synchronization if you want changes to propogate)
        - Create any editing contexts using that single task OSC as a parent
        - lock and unlock your ec's manually when working with them

Since I'm using ERXEC, should I be able to get away with NOT locking and unlocking my ec's manually?

You need to handle locking for background threads seeing as they're not related to a request/response loop - but a background thread.

What if I don't create a new ObjectStoreCoordinator for the background task?

Doesn't matter. That's a separate question.

with regards,
