What are the steps to accessing a file

[john.x.posada at us.hsbc.com]

Hi, guys...I'm having discussion with my service support people over what I
deem to be poor network access speed of FM files.

I'm trying to define what FM does when it accesses a series of files from
the perspective of disk and network read/writes, for something such as
search and replace.

It would be in the form similar to the following, for unstructured:

   Access file on disk
   Download to application.
   Apply file lock and write locked file to disk
   Write duplicate of file on disk as backup
   Perform examination in file and make changes necessary
   Write file to disk
   Delete lock file.

I'm sure I don't have this exactly right...anyone know better?
