Abstract

A method is described that involves locking a capacity demand profile of a resource for the use of a transaction. The method also involves obtaining a portion of the locked capacity demand profile. The portion describes the capacity demand profile over a time interval in which a locked out transaction desired to implement a change to the capacity demand profile prior to the locking. The method involves implementing the change to the portion to form a changed portion. The method also involves, after the implementing, implementing a second change to the changed portion. The second change is desired by the transaction.
