Files in Conflicts screen: how to handle quickly?

RonaldV

Hi,

Ts65Sp1 on Win2k

When using the standard TS Submit-workflow you often get a 'Files in Conflict' screen when files are locked, in conflicts or what ever.

Here you have the option of 'Overwrite all', 'Retry submit' or pick an action on a per file basis. This last option can be quite a nightmare if a lot of files are involved.

What I miss here is a 'End job' button that will simple end the job/task without doing any action on the conflicting files. I believe it used to be there in the godd-old TS552 gui.

Why is this missing?
What am I doing wrong here?

The consequence of this missing option is that users will simply close the window and forget about the submit, leaving the task hanging in the workflow engine. (Which I have to clean up manually later on :-)

To add to the nightmare: the 'detach from task' option often gives you this error:

"Cannot detach file(s) from task Submit changes: 23: Object being looked up was not found."

Any hints? Tips?

Thanks, Ronald

Hi Ronald -
I see you didn't get any responses to this.

I've spent about 4 hours helping one workflow job go through its steps today. In at least 2 of those steps, I've gotten file conflicts that I've had to overwrite.

After 6 years of working with TeamSite, the rhyme or reason of file conflicts isn't much clearer. This seems like a huge glaring hole in the process, don't you agree?
