When opening elements 12, catalog is locked by another user

When opening Elements 12, I get a message that catalog is locked by another user. No other applicatrions are open and computer was restarted

Yes, I've seen this happen when the form contains a multi-line text field. What happens is that applications generated with the Web PL/SQL generator do optimistic locking by saving a copy of the original contents of each field in hidden fields. When you save the form, it calls the lck procedure in the TAPI, and passes the data from the hidden fields. In theory, if no-one has changed the data in the database since you first saw the form, the data in the hidden fields will match the current data in the database. This works fine for data that has no linefeeds or carriage returns. Unfortunately, if you have a long text field that may contain linefeeds or carriage returns, the browser may have changed the whitespace in the hidden field so that it no longer matches what is currently in the database.
My current work-around is to do a post-generation change to the TAPI's lck procedure, so that it replaces all whitespace characters (tab, lf, cr, etc.) with spaces, and changes multiple spaces to single spaces in both the input data and the data from the database, so that they will only fail to match if the actual readable data has changed. Yes, post-generation changes are a pain, because you have to remember to do them EVERY time you generate - I usually put a reminder in the Comments on the item.
Unfortunately, Oracle is not going to fix this because Designer is a "mature" product. I'm thinking of writing my own TAPI generator and my own Web PL/SQL generator that uses SCN (system change number) for its optimistic locking.

  • I do not see the small thumbnail pictures anymore when opening elements.

    I am using Photoshop elements for quite some time on a Dell PC and another windows PC. SInce recently I do not see the small thumbnail pictures anymore when openning elements. I only see the grey boxes with the sandglasses. When I then click on a grey box to see the picture in a fitting screen size. I have tried to wait for a long time, but it does not change I keep the grey boxes when I want to see more than one picture on the screen. This is the case in both PS'c. What has happened and how can I restore to the normal set up where I can see the pictures again in smaller size?

  • File locked by "another user"

    Hi,
    I am supporting a small office with 8x Windows 7 Pro 64x machines running Office 2007. They have a 2008 R2 DC which is also file server.
    Recently we started getting the message that files are locked by "another user". This does not happen all the time and the files are not in use by anyone when it occurs. If a file is used by someone else it gives the user name in the error message.
    They can try opening the file one moment and it fails, try again and it works fine. Sometimes it takes repeated tries or they have to open the file from within Excel (they usually just double click the file to open). I'm not sure if it happens with Word as
    well, as they are a quite Excel heavy office.
    I did some investigation online and a lot of the threats I found were related to Windows Defender - which my client was using. So I got rid of that and installed McAfee, which I liked much better anyway. Unfortunately that did not help and my client reports
    that the incidences of locked files are getting more and more, to the point where they are quite annoyed.
    In all honesty, I don't know where to start to get on top of this thing and would appreciate some guidance ;)
    Thanks!

    Here a screenshot I got, a little small - sorry!

    Hi Maike,
    Check if the following information would help:
    There is a public blog on file locking issues (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx).
    I would suggest the following:
    If you are seeing problems where the file is locked when double clicking from Windows Explorer, but the files open up correctly when opened in Excel or Word, do the following:
    Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items
    This is a problem that has been reported to affect Windows 7 clients only, not Windows XP. The problem here may have something to do with the Windows Explorer in Windows 7. We are currently investigating this further and will post more information as it is
    available.
    In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:
    1. Right click on the Start Button.
    2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
    3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
    4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
    5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to“Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
    If you are seeing issues where the wrong user name is showing up, there is a known bug on that and a fix:
    In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
    Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on
    whether you have Excel 2010 or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:
    Assume that you have an .xls file that is protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) on a network share. When you open the file in Excel 2007, a File In Use dialog box appears. However, the dialog box does not display the
    correct name of the user who locked the file. Therefore, you cannot edit the file.
    Understand that these fixes don't make the File in Use dialog go away, they just correct the problem of showing bogus user name information on the dialog itself.

  • Project Locked by another user

    Ok, I kind of broke my MacBook Pro and had to buy another one. I took the HDD out of my old MacBook and connected it to my new MacBook through a SATA to USB converter. I am trying to get my iMovie projects off the old drive but it tells me that the project is locked by another user, the username that I had on my old MacBook. I have tried everything to get it open including copying it to the shared folder, taking ownership, and changing permissions and no luck. Any ideas short of swapping the HDDs.

    Needed to delete a file within the project called "Project.lock"

  • ITunes can't communicate with iPod bec it's locked by another user

    I'm getting this message when I connect my iPod to my computer:
    "Another user on this computer is using the ipod software so iTunes is unable to communicate with this ipod. please ask the other user to log out."
    I suspect at some point the Windows dialog for "what to do when this device is attached" came up and I hit ok, not realizing it. Every time I attach the iPod, it opens a Windows Explorer window showing me the files inside (Calendar, Notes, etc), and then iTunes gives me hte message above.
    I don't know how to tell Windows to butt out. I'm running Windows XP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Robin

    It was my friend Gail who was having problems. I finally went over to her house to check it out this morning, and found out she was logged on to her machine twice, once as herself and once under her guest account. She logged on to the guest account to check something or other out, and didn't realize there was a difference between "switch users" and logging off of one account and on to another. :-P
    So the answer to your question is "Yes". Thanks for your time. I think we can count this issue as resolved.

  • Desktop Administrator Locked by another user

    Lately I have been having a problem making changes to workflow on my primary UCCX 7.0(1)SR3 server. I open desktop administrator and click on "Side A", then login to the desktop administrator site, but each time I get a popup saying that CDA is locked by another user. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    There is a bug opened for this but we are still trying to get a clean set of logs to provide to the development team for root cause.
    If the problem is still happening, can you please open a TAC case and complete the following:
    1. Se the WebAdmin debug level to DEBUG and set the files to 10
    2. Set the LRMServer debug level to TRACE and set the files to 10
    Try to login to the WebAdmin and get the message that another user is logged in. Wait 15 minutes. Try to navigate to another page like the Enterprise Data Fields page and see if the 'Save' button is activated or if you still get that message.
    Collect the following:
    1. WebAdmin*.dbg from C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\log
    2. LRMServer*.dbg from the same location
    3. WebAdmin*.dbg from C:\Program Files\wfavvid\tomcat_appadmin\logs
    Turn the Threshold=OFF for the LRMServer after the test.

  • Record Locked by another user

    I have an application using ADF, Java, Struts, JSP in JDev10.1.2
    I have created datapages using 'Input form'. So, if any record is viewed through the form, will that record be locked?
    Won't I have this problem, if I view the record using 'Read Only' form? Pls advice, it is very urgent.
    I keep getting the error "Record locked by another user" all the time. Pls tell me how to remove the locks programatically

    Hi,
    Go to application module --> configuration . Probably you have pessimistic locking mode (default in 10.1.2 version). If that, change locking mode for optimistic - recomended for web applications.

  • When opening Elements 13 I have a message  The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1?

    When I open Elements 13 I have a message. The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1

    You can check if the standard Srgb profile has been change.
    Close Elements.
    Go to Start menu >> Control Panel >> Color Management.
    Click the Devices tab.
    From the Device pop-up, select your monitor.
    Check the ‘Use my settings for this device’ checkbox.
    Make a note of the currently selected profile, which is marked as (default). If there isn’t an existing profile, you can skip this step.

  • Problem with file locked by another user

    I have a problem with a user on Windows 7 in my network when accessing a single .xlsx file. When Jane Smith opens said file, she gets a message that the file is locked by Jane Smith but she has checked and it was in use by another user, Roger Smith.
    This happened over a weeks time and is not a one-off situation. Researching online, I tried one suggestion by going to Roger Smith's computer and into the registry under HKEY CURRENT USER, navigated to "Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\UserInfo",
    expecting to see Jane Smiths name and initials. Nope, that wasn't the problem. I went ahead and deleted extra profiles on the computer and ran a repair on Roger Smiths Office 2013.
    It was okay for a half a day then towards the end of the day, Jane Smith calls back to say again the same file is locked by Jane Smith yet this time Diana Smith had the file open.
    So, the file is locked but why is Excel not reporting the correct user? What can I do to address this?

    These all reference Office 2007 and 2010. As far as you know, all of these fixes still apply to Office 2013?
    example: they give two updates to download.
    Excel 2007 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598133
    Excel 2010 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598143
    No option for 2013.
    but this could be useful no matter the version.
    In the Shared folder or the File Server;
    Open the folder where the Document is located.
    Click Tools=>Folder Options
    Click the View tab
    Scoll down to Advanced Settings>Hidden files and folders
    Select Show hidden files and folders and Unselect Hide protected operating system files
    Look for a temp lock file and delete it. It should look something like
    ~$filename.xlsx  or whatever file extension the it was saved in.
    (In my case, this file had become corrupt and was stuck displaying an earlier modify date from a few days ago..)

  • RSPC chain locked by another user

    When another user in  the same process chain , you cant diplay the process chain . but you can get the details of process chain varaints and logs through function modules.
    But we cant see the process chain when another user in same process chain , if you try to see the same process chain you will get message like ' Locked by user'. Regarding process chain job count , variant , log id and  Ptypees details we can see through Function modules.

  • Error while query execution - Query getting locked by another user execute

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue ..
    When I execute a query I am getting an error message ie popping as blocked by some other user. And I able to see the lock when I go to SM12. If the other user logged off or if we unlock his entry, then both the workbook and query is getting executed as expected. What can be the reason for this phenomena?
    In my understanding, in the same time multiple users can execute the query /workbook. But in our case its not allowing.
    Can someone suggest a resolution at the earliest, as it is affecting the reports in live environment
    Regards
    Mathew

    The Bex Analyser (Front end) Patch is 501 and the SAP BI is 15.
    The error message that I am getting while executing the query is "The object requested is currently locked by user --". 
    When I go to SM12, I can see a lock in the user's name.
