GroupTask : Lock issue

Hi ,

Using TS 6.5 SP2 Sol 5.8

I have a grouptask . Before initiating group task i have a unlock task which unlock the locks on the files if any.

My requirement is that the user who takes the ownership of grouptask should also gain the locks on the files.

I am setting lock='t' in grouptask , but not getting the desired result. If someone takes the ownership then also the files remian in unlocked state.

Please let me know if someone has faced similar problem. Do we have workaround for it.

Thats the way lock is acquired on a file, check if you have any other task which is removing that lock.

Hi,

Does this happens with all the users in the group ?
it can be the issue related with the permissions of a particular user on the file being aquired lock.

Thanks,

Hi Rohit,

When the lock attribute is set to 't' the task will acquire TeamSite locks on all the files it contains when it becomes active. If the task cannot acquire locks for one or more of the files it contains it will release any locks it has already acquired.

Check if any of your files attached to task ... is/are not been acquired to get locked.

In addition, I remember some time back there was same discussion about the same issue and it was discussed that it is better to manually acquire the lock instead of using lock="t" as it fails many a times.
