locked topic

[ditatizer]

I am using Eclipse and Oxygen to generate dita contents. I have a map file but one of the topics is locked and cannot be released. This is because it was locked using a different coputer. How can I unlock it?
Thank you

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by "locked"?

1) If the map and topics are on a local drive:

Eclipse does not allow editing for files marked as read-only. You can right click the file in the Project view, choose Properties and clear its read-only flag.

2) If the map and topics were opened via Webdav:

It is indeed possible that some other user has locked one of the topics.
Did you configure the WebDav connection via the Oxygen's Data Source Explorer view? Then you can right click the resource in the explorer and choose to "Unlock" it. If you have enough rights, this should work, if not you should contact a system admin.

3) If you are working using some kind of CMS integration you will probably have to address the CMS vendors.

Radu
