package checkout problem

[Henrique Narciso]

hello, I'm having trouble checking out a package.

the model is in sql server and versioned in TFS.

I have a package that apears to be checked in but when I try to check it out a message raises saying it is checked out by "someone"(someone is an alias to a real name ).

In TFS the respective file is checked in.

the workspace of "someone" is gone, hes laptop burned.

after my investigation I have concluded.
- TFS file is checked in.
- in the t_package sqlserver table packageflags column have the following value
"VCCFG=EA;CheckedOutOffline=0;CheckedOutTo="someone";"

I have seen that all other values have a CRC, (I think it's and automatic number.)
can I substitute this value?
I have tried a number of things but no sucess yet.


thanks in advance

We have a similar problem.
We are using EA v7.5  and we also use Clearcase if that’s relevant. There are 14 of us.

I can’t check out a diagram because a colleague (who is next to me, conveniently for checking’s sake) has it checked out reserved i.e. exclusive use(according to EA), except that she hasn’t (according  to Clearcase). Closing down  her EA/Clearcase/laptop hasn’t helped.

The "Re-Synch status with VC Provider" should rectify those types of issues.
