unlock.ipl doesn't unlocks my DCR

Hi friends,

I am generating a XML file through a workflow after editing and submitting a DCR.After the workflow is complete , the generated XML file is unlocked but the DCR remained locked.
I am using a externaltask to unlock through a unlock.ipl script.

can anybody let me know how to overcome this problem.

Thanks,
Sundeep

Sundeep,
Is your DCR also attached to the Workflow or just the DCR?

Just checking the obvious first.

Hi,
No, the DCR is not attached to workflow.
Hope i answered you question.

Well if the DCR is not attached the the workflow then the standard unlock.ipl which comes with Teamsite will not unlock the matching DCR as it only unlocks those files attached to the workflow.

Your options would be to modify a copy of it for your own use that will figure out, maybe using extended attributes, what DCR was used to generate the XML that is attached to the WF and then unlock that file too.

HTH.

Alternately, you could (and unless you have a really good reason not to, you should) attach the DCR to the workflow. That way it gets submitted along with the generated file.

I submitted the DCR along with other output XML files and it worked !!
The DCR gets unlocked in this case.

Thanks to you all guys for helping me out,
