Repository Stuck -- Can't Undo Checkout/CheckIn?

Stuart · Post by **Stuart** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 12:38 pm

We have one repository that seems to be stuck with regards to the checked-out files. Within the Vault Client, the files that are checked out can't be checked in or the checkout can't be undone. Those options are greyed out. However, I can check out new files and check them back in. If I do a check-in or undo check-out within the Visual Studio IDE, it appears to do the work but nothing happens. Is there some setting that might be wrong?

Thanks.

Does your server log say anything that might give a clue?

Another idea is to use the admin tool to undo the checkouts.

The server log didn't say anything.. I was able to use the Admin tool to undo the check-outs. Do you have any idea what would cause this to happen? The only thing I can think of is that our network switch died yesterday, so maybe it left something in a weird state?

The domain and hostname are part of the checkout, and right now Vault Client will only allow you to undo the checkout from the machine that checked it out.

Is this something that you're planning to fix in a future version?

I personally would like to see it changed, but I'm making no promises.
