Active cache offline access and management of project files
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing an active cache for offline access and management of server-based project files in a client-server computer system, comprising:
- monitoring the current status of a connection between a client and a server;
receiving a request to open a server-based project file in the active cache;
determining a current status of a connection between the client and the server, wherein the active cache resides on the client;
if the current status is offline, then determining if a copy of the project file is stored in the active cache; and
if a copy of the project file is stored in the active cache, then opening the copy.

Abstract
In a client-server computer system, an active cache is utilized by a client-based project management application program to access and manage server-based project files offline. The current status of a connection between the client and the server is monitored. If the status of the connection between the client and server is offline, project files are opened, modified, and saved to the active cache on the client. If the status of the connection between the client and server is online, project files stored in the active cache may be updated by the server prior to being opened. Changes made to project files saved to the cache are synchronized with the server.
