Override checkout by superuser?

[mrblack12]

I'm fairly new to EA's version control but is there a way to override checkouts made by users who, for instance, went on holiday or fell ill for a long period of time?

I assume you are using a RDBMS. In that case you must login as that user to release the checkout. Or you need to manipulate the database and additionally release the lock in the VC. Be aware that modifications get lost unless you export the package locally and replay it later on.

If you have EAP files you just need to release the lock in the VC. The user then needs to undo his changes or setup a fresh database.

I've used the EAP / VC unlock method several times on small internal projects with no issue.
