Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to managing reusable artifacts. Responsive to receiving a request to create a placeholder for a reusable artifact representing a reusable unit, the placeholder for an appropriate version of the reusable artifact is created within a container and a first parameter identifying the reusable artifact is assigned to an artifact property of the placeholder. Responsive to receiving a request to pin a particular version of the reusable artifact to the placeholder, a version property of the placeholder can be updated to set the version, wherein the request to pin the particular version of the reusable artifact to the placeholder is implemented by assigning a value to a parameter in the placeholder or adding a pin property into the placeholder. The particular version can be maintained as the set version of the reusable artifact regardless of whether new artifact versions are created for the reusable artifact.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to provide pseudo internal numbering for uniquely and continuously numbering of legally bound documents are described herein. In one aspect, an external numbering range object (NRO) is generated in a computer system. The range of numbers assignable by the external NRO is split into a set of intervals based on a prefix. In another aspect, an internal NRO is generated corresponding to a subset of the intervals of the external NRO. The correspondence between the internal NRO and the subset of intervals is determined by a part of the prefix. In yet another aspect, the unique and continuous numbers generated by the internal NRO are correlated with the numbers in the intervals of the subset of intervals of the external NRO based on a correspondence between values of the prefix of the external NRO and a prefix of the internal NRO.
