Hi all,
For one of my modules, I can't do anything with views.
I get a msg telling "The list of views is currently locked" \
Thanks for your help
Eric

Eric, proceed as follows
1) Ensure that no user is currently logged in
2) In the server host, go to \Telelogic\DOORS\data\hierarchy directory
3) Search downwards from here for any file named "lock.dtc"
4) Remove all of the files found in a subdirectory named "views", yuo need RW access to that branch

This will remove all unwanted locks of your database. Indeed, any file with the name as above and regardless of the subdirectory it is stored in, is a potential problem as it is a lock file set by DOORS and not removed yet.

I'm periodically applying this procedure to recover problems occurring in a DOORS 5.2 client-server platform.

Bye.

AC

Hi all.

A tipp for finding this (and other) files in the database and automate this is the tool Agent Ransack aka. FileLocator Pro (www.mythicsoft.com).

This tool has the top feature to search with regular expressions for directories (!) as for files and to script the search result with Active Scripting (VBScript).

OffTop: Does "DOORS Administrator (Siemens)" means that you are from Siemens?

(if so, look at 'scd').

One example of regexp string for FileLocator to finding lockfiles is "^(lock)(\.dtc)$" in direktories "\\mycomputer\mypath\doors\datadb\hierarchy\^(m0).*\views\".

This will find (if any) all lock.dtc's in subdirs \views of database under \hierarchy.
This work for DOORS 5.2 fine, but Telelogic seems to change the pathes (-> \00, \20, \60, etc.) of the module files in DOORS 6/7, isn't it?

Dirk.
