I've got a module I can open. All the locks (via the DOORS interface and via DXL) have been removed.
However, when I try to delete the module or move it to another folder, I get the "Item not in expected folder" error. I suspect the DOORS server crashed while moving the module last week. Anybody recognize this problem? - Louie |

Yuk!!!
![]() Sounds like the database index expected to find the module somewhere else. Every module has a unique pointer reference, I would say that the DB index has registered a differant location path to that unique pointer reference. So when you try to move/delete it, it complains that it's not in the expected location. You could try and use the "fullName(Item)" function to reveal the full location path of the module - I'm hopeing that this is reconciled with the DB index so that it shows the expected location. Select the folder that contains the module and use Tools>Edit DXL in the DOORS Explorer window to run the simple loop below. Item i for i in current Folder do { print fullName(i) "\n" } Sounds like it could be a job for Telelogic, I would be surprised if they didn't have tools to view the encrypted DB index information and apply a fix. ------------------------- Paul Miller Specification Practices Specialist, EuroCyber, Melbourne, Australia.

I can open the module. 'fullName' and 'name' of both the module and the item show the item in the expected folder. There is only one such item in the Project (and in the current Folder). 'uniqueID' reveals the stored folder path for the module, but I have no access to the server file system.
I was hoping we could look at the file system to debug the problem. - Louie |

I am seeing the exact same problem on one of our databases. Unfortunately, Telelogic has been unable to rectify the situation. I'm almost ready to just archive the projects I need and start a new database. Luckily, the project I can't purge is just a sample project.
I'm curious if Telelogic gives you some clues to how to fix the problem. Alec |

Rumor has it that DOORS server crashed WHILE this module was being moved to a different location. I'll let you know if we figure it out.

Good Luck Louie,
We had this problem twice in the last two years. Based on my experience I can say the following. It is serious. You don't want to change the structure (folders/projects/renaming or deleting modules, etc.) of the project that generates this error message. Get in contact with Telelogic support very soon. The first time we had this problem (v5.2) the offending module was moved and/or deleted resulting in further incorrect indexing and then a useless database. In the end we had to resort to backups. The second time (v6.0) we were smarter and shutdown the database and fixed the problem immediately, resulting in much less downtime and NO data loss. I don't know what's going on under the hood, but I would recommend, having support cut out the offending project via exchanging *.dtc files, so that other projects are not affected. Then working on the problem project in a second database created from a backup. Again, have support cut out the offending module(s) until you are able to make an archive (I assume you can't do this on the project right now). Then restore the archive to the first database (and replace all Access rights! These are not carried over in the archive.)
