File lock and Unlock

Hi,

I am using ts 6.5 with solaris.

The issue is whenever I launch editor to Edit a file, the file gets locked.
I have included the option "submit_lock_on_edit=false" in the "iw.cfg" file within the [iwcgi] area which was missing from "iw.cfg" file. But issue still persists. The DCR Files do not get unlocked even after clicking the “finish” button.

Is there a known workaround then please let me know.

Regards
Abhishek

Which iw.cfg you are trying to edit. On Solaris you need to edit the file under /etc/iw.cfg and not iw-home/etc/iw.cfg????

I know which "iw.cgf" to edit in solaris. I found the [iwcgi] area in one of the installed ts application ver 6.1.0 but could not locate the same in the ts 6.5 application I am workin on.

I have also updated the Locking system for the branch from "Submit" to "Optional write", but did not make any affect. Files still get locked on clicking edit.

Any idea?

How did you changed the locking model for a branch?
Once the branch is created, you cannot change the locking model for that branch.

I know, created a dummy branch with updated locking model to test the system. The only possibility seem to be the "submit_lock_on_edit=false" which come under [iwcgi]. This module is missing from the ts 6.5 "iw.cfg".

Any idea how to set "submit_lock_on_edit=false" in ts 6.5?

I had a request to turn off all locking for a particular workarea.

Here is what I did. It's been in production for months.

(This is written for a windows environment, so you'll have to change the paths for your use)

Create a custom perl file called d:\iw-home\custom\custom_unlock.ipl.


#!d:/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

use TeamSite::CGI_lite;

#### 
# Tad Aalgaard
# Only need to invoke the following two commands once ever, they create triggers that 
# will fire everytime a file is Locked or Updated
# This is used in the EXL workarea, they do not want any locks, removes lock on imports, edits and users trying to perform locks
# the following two lines need to be run on a new installation to get the iwat commands to respond to any locks
# when a lock is found it runs this custom_unlock.ipl file and unlocks the file
# iwat Lock "d:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl d:\iw-home\custom\custom_unlock.ipl"
# iwat Update"d:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl d:\iw-home\custom\custom_unlock.ipl"
###

my $filepath = $ARGV[4] . $ARGV[5];

if ($ARGV[4] eq "\\default\\main\\CMG\\EXL_Websites\\DEMO\\WORKAREA\\DEMO")
{
 $deploy_command = "iwunlock \"". $filepath . "\"";
 qx/$deploy_command/;    # execute the deployment command
}

Run the following

iwat Lock "d:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl d:\iw-home\custom\custom_unlock.ipl"
iwat Update "d:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl d:\iw-home\custom\custom_unlock.ipl"
