We are running EA 7.5 v850, MySQL database, SVN version control. We probably have 10 people working in one model, though usually only 2 or 3 at a time.
There are a couple of peculiar things going on, and I suspect they may be related.
1. One engineer said that a package he had been working in had disappeared from the project browser. I looked in subversion and found the package, and it showd him as having it locked.
At this point I attempted to reload the current project, which had no effect. The XMI file in Subversion was for the package in its initial state, apparently added to VC right after the package was created. He claimed to have checked it in after making changes, but I could find no evidence of that in subversion.
I checked a (full model) baseline that was taken a couple of days before and found the offending package, complete with contents.
2.On what I suspect is a related note, I've found a number of XMI files in SVN that are locked, but either the correspoding packages appear to be checked in (per the browser icon) or cannot be found in the EA project. I have been asked in several instances to help with people not being able to check out packages that they themselves had created - the packages showed as being checked in, but SVN said that the package was checked out. "Resynchronise with VC provider" does nothing to fix the problem - have to go into SVN and clear the lock, after which things usually seem OK.
I suspect a contributing factor is losing connection with the database when EA is open - the people who have this problem seem to all be laptop users, and I, with a desktop, never see anything similar happen when I've been updating things (I also check packages in religiously).
Has anyone else run into similar problems? Are there any suggestion on how to fix them? I've tried telling people to "check in your packages and close EA before you close your laptop", but the problems keep on popping up.
Thanks,
Van
