<38> Section 2.3.3.1:  Servers running Office 2010 save all changes to the underlying store at the end of processing a subrequest, with the following four exceptions:

1. The subrequest is a Put Changes subrequest, as described in [MS-FSSHTTPB] section 2.2.2.1.4, and the Partial bit, as described in [MS-FSSHTTPB] section 2.2.2.1.4, of the Put Changes request is 1. In this case, servers running Office 2010 do not save changes to the underlying store. Instead, the changes are stored in a write cache.

2. Servers running Office 2010 write to an intermediate write cache while processing a subrequest if the subrequest is a Put Changes subrequest, as described in [MS-FSSHTTPB] section 2.2.2.1.4. If writing to the write cache fails, servers running Office 2010 do not save changes to the underlying store.

3. If prior to the current attempt to save changes to the underlying store, there have been from 26 through 73 consecutive failed attempts immediately preceding the current attempt, and the most recent failed attempt is within 60 minutes of the current subrequest, servers running Office 2010 do not save changes to the underlying store. Instead, the changes are stored in a write cache.

4. If prior to the current attempt to save changes to the underlying store there have been more than 73 consecutive failed attempts immediately preceding and the most recent failed attempt is within 24 hours of the current subrequest then servers running Office 2010 will not save changes to the underlying store. Instead the changes will be stored in a write cache.
