At the moment, I can't explain why the Require Exclusive Locks setting in the repository options is not behaving as expected. Let's try the following steps: In the Vault GUI client, right-click on a file and choose Check Out. In that dialog, there is a checkbox which says Request Exclusive Lock. Make sure it is checked, then proceed to click OK on the dialog. The file should be checked out, and the file list should so indicate by saying something like "Don_Hiatt (exclusive)", indicating that you have the file checked out exclusively. If you now attempt to checkout the file as another user, it should fail. Does this sequence work for you? Also: Note that in the Options dialog, under Concurrent Development Style, there is a checkbox called Always Request Exclusive Locks. It's a per-user setting. -- Eric Sink Software Craftsman http://software.ericsink.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Hiatt Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [vault-list] exclusive lock problems I am evaluating the use of Vault with VS 2003 and am running into a seemingly very basic problem. I can't seem to get the VS IDE (nor the Vault client) to recognize a file is already checked out to another developer. The client (VS IDE or Vault) simply checks out the file and happily allows both files to be edited. "Require Check In comments" and "Require exclusive locks" are checked for the repository in question. The repository properties has the "Enable Folder Security" set to not checked. Am I missing something? I would think Require Exclusive Lock would prevent a second user from checking out the same file. Regards!
