Former Member

Hi,

I am having this problem, please help..

I am checkedout some files,made changes and checkedin the activity. All the files in the activity got checked-in except for one file(this file was checkedout exclusively). But the activation went fine and the transport was released successfully.

When I try to edit or delete this file,I am getting an error

"(pre||post)-condition failed: file checked out exclusively."( on my user name)

My question is , 'is there a way to check in this file when the activity is closed'

or

is there a way I can delete this file.

or

is there any other way to check in a file, with no activity available?

Thanks,

Jai

Hi Jai,

Only when you complete the check in process an activity goes to "closed state".

If you are able to see that one of the files is exclusively checked out by you, then you should be definitely able to see an open activity under your name or any other user's name with that file checked out.

-->You can get the activity name by checking the version graph of the exclusiley checked out file

--> You can also use DTR reports and do an activity search and check for open activities

--> DTR command line tool can help you to checkin the activity (that you are unable to checkin via IDE) ...You can get the DTR command reference here:

Hope this helps. Revert back with more details incase the problem persists.

This is how I overcame the problem

Using this URL

http://server:port/dtr/system-tools/reports/ActivityQuery ,

I could see what open activity is holding my file, I reverted this but you should have CMS admin to do this from this URL. For some reason I could see this activity from my NWDS.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Hi,

Try doing this...

Checkout the same objects again and do a check in.

You should see list of predecessor activities if any.

Use force Activiation to activate any previous changes.

Please let me know if the problem persists.
