"File sharing lock count exceeded [3052]"

[mrelbe]

Hi

I have a fairly large EAP project file connected to several models that are put into SVN version control.

However, when I execute "Update All to Latest" I get tons of error messages: "File sharing lock count exceeded [3052]"

This originates from the Jet database engine used by EA, and Microsoft proposes that number of file locks is increased by doing a registry hack (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815281).

However, being a Big Corporate Company citizen at the moment, I am not allowed to even think about touching the registry...

I have two questions:
1. Shouldn't EA prevent this error from happening?
2. What can I do, without editing the registry?

Thanks in advance for you feedback!

Hi, there are a number of similar topics on this forum, but I don't seeing a real solution (not even the registry stuff), although it might be worth a search.

I think, as a "Big Corporate Company citizen" you should really not be using MS-Access at all, but migrate to a "real" database.

Thanks for you feedback, Geert. However, being a "Big Corporate Company citizen" also means, in this case, that we have limited abilities in what we can do... which excludes centralized SQL-based model repos...

But still, shouldn't EA prevent file sharing lock count exceeded, anyone?
