command line - undocheckout

Post by MapData » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:36 pm

vault server: 4.0.6
vault client: 4.0.6

I just upgraded our vault server and the clients in the office and all went smoothly so no problem there.

In version 4.0.5 we were experiencing files being checked out twice and I had to use the admin tool to undo the extra checkout so our devs could checkin their work properly. This was the main reason I upgraded to 4.0.6.

Rather than waiting for one of the files that had been checkout twice to popup again in a week or so I thought I would get a jump on it by looking for the ones that had 2 entries in the undo checkout section of the admin tool. It turns out we have about 240 files that are checked out twice. With the terrible performance of the web page undo checkout tool (my grandmother runs faster) there is no way I am going to be checking them all out that way.

Is there any way to use the command line tool to undo the checkout of these files?
I’ve tried the undocheckout command but it looks to only undo checkouts of the user running it even if run by the admin?

There is an UNDOCHECKOUT command available. Run vault.exe HELP UNDOCHECKOUT for the options.

I think the command will be tied to a single user login, so you may need to run this for each named individual user.

I cant run undocheckout for each user since I dont know their passwords unless there is a way to login with the client as admin then specify the user I need to checkout the files for?

Unfortunately, there is not.

Let me dig deeper to see if there is another way we can achieve the same thing.
