Exiting the Application

This use case defines the sequence of events that occurs when the user exits a session (Editor).

Notes

Actors

  1. External User
  2. Administrator

Pre-Conditions

  1. The ACME system is running on the user's system
  2. The user may have one or more ACME sessions running in separate ACME Editor frames

Basic Path: One Editor Frame is Open

  2. The user elects to "Close" the ACME Editor
  3. If there is no job in the Editor

  4. Else, if the job in the Editor is clean
    1. The system closes the ACME Editor frame (without prompting the user)
    2. The system removes any locks showing that this user had this job open
    3. The system shuts itself down
  5. Else, if the job in the Editor is dirty
    1. The system prompts the user that "The job 'JOBNAME' has been modified, save changes - y/n/cancel?"
      1. If the user selects "cancel", the shutdown operation will be stopped
      2. If the user selects "yes"
        1. The dirty job is saved
        2. Job module locks are released
        3. This ACME Editor is closed
        4. The system removes the database entry showing that this user had this job open
