How to Unlock a DCR?

I tried this command to unlock the DCR

>iwunlock myDcrName

But I am getting the error as

ERROR:00920: Object being looked up was not found

Note: I am using TS 6.1 under windows 2003 server.

Any help ?

iwunlock expects a vpath as its argument - unless you're sitting in the same directory as the DCR - the command you indicated will not work. Some CLTs (and I'm not sure whether iwunlock is one of them, can't remember right now) require a full vpath and will not work with a relative path.

There would be no difference, whether it is a DCR or any other file.... provided the vpath passed along is correct.

Could you please attach the command along with the parameter value being passed?

Note: I tried to run this command from inside the "Data" folder only.
ie from where the DCR is located.

Okay, good to know but still -- what is the exact command you're executing?

iwunlock myDcrName

is this correct? else please provide an sample command

Lal

Oh, I'm sorry. Is "myDcrName" your actual DCR name or are you being generic? So, to verify, there is a DCR in your current working directory named "myDcrName"?

yes u r correct..

Okay, I just had the same error(s) but I'm not sure if we have the same situation:

I started a few weeks ago working for a customer that went CRAZY with making content stores -- they currently have more than what they have licensed (Interwoven Police: they are in the process of consolidating these stores since they really don't need so many anyway -- you guys are very much in touch with them Smiley Happy

) -- anyway, I tried locking and unlocking assets in one of these "extra" stores and it didn't work. That is, I got the same error you got. When I changed to the /default/main store, however, it worked just fine.

So, to which content store does this DCR belong? It's a shot in the dark but I was checking this out and noticed a similar problem.

Here's a silly question... Is the DCR actually locked? If it isn't locked, you will get "ERROR:00920: Object being looked up was not found:".

If it is actually locked, try using the full vpath instead of the relative path as others have suggested.

Good point but running the command from the directory where the asset is located and using just the filename works just fine.

I still suggest to use vpaths.... as most of the CLTs use vpath as the parameter. I have gone through these types of situations where interwoven does not act as perl.

Sigh - I keep forgetting that this bug exists - I filed it years ago. Yes - this error means basically that the file is not locked - as distinguished to:

ERROR:02005: Error locating ...

which means the file cannot be found. I forget what other errors iwunlock emits, but it is one of the more annoying aspects of the CLT that it treats a no-op as an error.

yes it is locked, and I tried with the full path ..Still the same error !!!

Starting from the first reply... all of us here are asking about the code .. what you have written?

Unable to understand... as why you are not attaching your code.

Could you please gimme a simple eg of your try ..

oh i found the issue, initially i was using
iwunlock y:/default/main/...

I should not have used that y: ..!!!!!!

Thanks much All for you help received.
Lal

No, you said that initially you were using iwunlock myDcrName when your shell was in the same directory as the DCR. From the command line, it works in this situation so I'm not clear as to what the problem was initially.

I hope you understand the value of attaching the code while solving these ****-bit issues. Smiley Wink
