![]() Answer: We are trying to import some rtf files in shareable edit mode. Multiple users have their respective sections locked. They want to import below, and are getting an error message that the module must be opened in edit mode (it does not mention shareable or exclusive). The import obviousely works in exclusive edit, but then other users can't modify the module during this time. Is there a way to do this in shareable edit mode? We are running 6.0 SR1 | |

The RTF import code (in lib/dxl/utils/doctools/importif.inc) contains the following check:
if (!isEdit impMod) { ack "Module " impModName " must be open in edit mode for import" halt } If you change this to the following, it will work in shared edit mode. ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com Edited: 14-Jul-2004 at 09:00 by Tony Goodman |

I made the code changes, but it's not working. I still get the same message.
However, I did a little experimenting and changed the text string of the error message. The new string is not showing up, so something is weird here. I re-started DOORS on my client machine. Do I need to stop/start the server as well? |

"edit" usually means "exclusive" edit.
I suspect but don't know that it should be "edit" and not "shared" so the importer can muck around with Module level attributes, presumably those "rtf xxx" attributes such as "rtf table". The user can import into a temporary module created and open for that purpose, then copy the objects and paste them into their shareable section. I'd be tempted to create a temp module for that purpose and tell the users not to save it. You yankees don't know nut'n. - Louie |
