ABSTRACT:
In a client/server computing environment where the server controls the creation and allocation of file numbers for newly created files, transparent creation by the client of new file numbers while the server is unavailable. A file number table is created and maintained in the client for storing and mapping file numbers. Responsive to requests for the creation of a new file while the server is unavailable, the client creates a new file number for the new file, stores it in the table, and maps it to the file number later assigned by the server. Conflicts between file numbers created by the server and client are also flagged, detected, and resolved.
