Locked out

[Martin Walke]

Hi all,

We have EA connected to Subversion for version control. Something happened whilst I was getting the latest version of a project (via Get All Latest) which resulted in the following error message being shown whenever I try the same operation again:

"The ability to import is currently locked by user: VE2499"  :-/

VE2499 is my machine and I've shut the machine done, opened the EAP file in Access 97 and resaved it - all to no avail.

It's obviously something to do with Subversion but does anyone know where EA stores the "locked" flag?

TIA
Martin

Have you tried a resynch?

Hi Geert,

Thanks for the reply.

Yep - tried a re-sync and every other option on the project package control sub menu.

Re-sync tells me that it's re-sync the various packages (no surprise there then)
Validate packages does exactly that but without any other comment.

Then I would try looking in the t_package.PackageFlag column.
That is where EA normally stores the VC information about packages.

Thanks Geert. I'll give it a try. As always, you're a wealth of information!

Geert,

I couldn't find the necessary info in the PackageFlag column. We solved our problem by getting a copy of another person's EAP and re-syncing to that.  

Thanks
Martin
