Hi all,

First, kudos to a real Great Product - especially version 2.1.1 which is perfectly suiting my organizational needs. I could customize Eventum to create various applications like Grievance Redressal, Training Planner & Tracker with Feedback, People Profile Management System (skill repository) - to name a few apart from the known Bug/Defect tracker. The Localization / Language translation funda is a beauty - I am able to have the name "Issue" translated to a context-sensitive name like "Training" in Training Application for example!

I could go on but back to my question ...

From whatever I had understood from the Eventum code, there doesn't seem to be anything that handles concurrency especially in Database updates. Sometime back I got a situation when myself and my colleague were trying to update the same Issue. My colleague complained that part of his changes were not reflected - especially his Status update. I could see that my Status Update was reflected fine. But strangely, the Internal Notes my colleague added were successfully updated.

Due to time constraints, I could not re-create the scenario and test the same. But just wanted to ask this forum if anybody else faced something similar and would love to have a confirmation on whether Eventum indeed handles concurrency. I couldn't find anything like a "begin transaction" and "end transaction" funda in the code.

Thanks and rgds, Watson
