Hijack
To modify a resource that you cannot check out because you are disconnected from the VOB server (in the case of a snapshot view) or from the VersionVault WAN server (in the cases of a web view or automatic view).
Note: In a dynamic view, there is never an occasion for hijacking a resource because the view is
always connected to the VOB server.
