Bugs and Issues / Re: How to unlock element table without lock-option in element context menu

« on: March 29, 2018, 07:15:27 pm »

Hello Uffe,

I tried to Enable Security, but EA asks for an authorization key, which I don't have. I also couldn't insert one: the OK-button stays inactive. I think our ICT-supplier does have that key, because yesterday they used one when we were trying to solve another issue with EA.

Next I ran the script on the three locked table and one table that isn't locked. It returned Waar (True) on the three locked tables and Onwaar (False) on the unlocked table. So it must be the kind of unusual lock you were mentioning in your post.

Do you know how to unlock that kind of lock?

Gr. Karin

Hello Uffe,

I've copied the sql in the SQL Scratchpad under Start -> Search -> Search in Model -> Find in Project. I got the reply: search returned 0 results. Could it be that the search is not "reaching" the EA-data itself but only the data generated in my project. I'm just a user of EA and not the administrator of EA.

I ran the select statement but it returned 0 results. Maybe that's because I don't have administrator rights on the EA-database?

Hi Geert,
 
I'm working with Enterprise Architect 13.5. So the option to use is Configure | Security | Locks (v14). Security is not enabled. I found the option Configure | Security | Locks, but the option 'Locks' is inactive, so I can't choose that. In fact: all the options that have to do with locking are inactive. I guess I have, as you call it, a weird case...

I don't have administrator-rights on EA, so I will pass your information about the table where locks are stored in EA to our helpdesk. I hope they can manage to solve my problem that way.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Geert,

You write there is no automatic locking of used elements in EA, but I did not lock these elements on purpose. For that reason I can’t remember how to unlock them. And you’re right that a lockout means something different than putting a lock on an element..

The red exclamation indicates that another user has locked the elements, but I’m 99,99% sure that no other user is or has been working on this project. Therefore it’s still a mystery to me. You say I can remove the locks from the "Manage Locks" dialog (shows all locks). I have searched all menus for an unlock-option and could not find an active option. Can you yell me the path where I can find that option?

Considering the red exclamation mark I think the two tables are locked as in locked by another user. I think the cause of the locking is that I encountered problems with my Citrix-remote EA-sessions. Our helpdesk has ended the connections in the Citrix Connection Centre. I think there are still sessions open on the server, which make that EA "thinks" that those tables are in use by another user (me).

EA-documentation (UML Model Management) says this about it:

Share Projects on Network Drive
The easiest way to share a project amongst a work group of developers and analysts is to place the project file
on a shared network drive and have people connect concurrently from their Workstation.
Note:
Enterprise Architect accepts a number of concurrent connections without issue, although there can be
occasional 'lock-outs' when one user tries to access or update something another user is in the process of
modifying.


I hope this is the information you're looking for. I've made images of the locked tables and the inactive option under Manage My Locks (all kind of locking-options are inactive), but don't know yet how to upload this to this post. It could give more information.

Hello,

I'm new here and I'm using EA for my work. I've encountered a for me unsolvable problem. I've made some tables and mysteriously one of them became locked, without me having locked that element in the element context menu. I read that somebody had the same problem and has unlocked the element in the DB Table of EA. But I have no idea how to do that. Does anyone have a solution for my problem?
