ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems and software applications are provided for real time data processing. In one implementation, a method is provided for locking data objects in a computer system. The method may comprise determining whether a number of lock objects to be locked is less than or equal to a maximum number of lock objects; creating, when the number is less than or equal to the maximum, one or more lock objects comprising names and values for key fields; and creating, when the number is greater than the maximum, one or more lock objects by applying a heuristic process such that the lock objects include wild cards for key fields.
