.lck files

Hi, there are several .lck files that have been generated
between Dreamweaver and Contribute. Is it safe to delete these
files on the server?
Thanks...

I think that in general, the answer is yes with a caveat. If
a user has
been in the process of updating the file that is locked, I
believe that
all changes previously made and not published will be lost;
but you can
wind up with different versions of the file on the local
machine(s) and
the server.
It has been my experience that this problem occurs when the
user has
been updating the content and screws something up and simply
"x"'s out
rather than Canceling the edit or forgets to check in the
file that has
been checked out.
The best long term solution is for the users to be educated
in the
"check-out", "check-in" and "cancel" functions in DW and
Contribute.

  • Search Remote Files... or ...How Do I Delete All of My LCK Files?

    hey everyone.
    i need to delete a bunch of .LCK files from my server so
    Dreamweaver
    will stop telling me someone else has stuff checked-out and
    that i need
    to enable blah blah blah. i can't just check everything in
    because A.
    that would take forever and B. the "person" who has them
    checked out is
    actually me, from a previous site definition that is now gone
    because i
    had to recreate it.
    unless i'm missing something (and i've been spending some
    time looking
    for it), there doesn't seem to be a way in Dreamweaver (at
    least in
    version 8, which is what i have) to search for files on the
    remote view.
    and even if there was, it doesn't look like the remote view
    displays
    hidden files, i.e. .LCK files.
    my server control panel does give me the option to search for
    files
    using the file manager, but it only searches the folder you
    have
    selected, and no sub-folders. there are hundreds, maybe
    thousands of
    folders on this thing, and it would really take a long time
    to click on
    each and every folder, search for the .lck files, and then
    delete them.
    so, my question is, what would be the best/easiest way to
    find and
    delete .lck files (or really, any file for that matter) on
    the remote
    server?
    thanks!

    i do NOT want check-in/check-out enabled. i'm trying to get
    rid of it
    altogether, but i tried selecting the checked out files to
    check them
    back in, and it said there were none.
    there is no "unlock" option, so i guess i need to pick check
    in. but
    here's my question, since it's this other instance of "me"
    that has them
    checked out, will this work? it's not recognizing me or my
    computer or
    whatever as the person who has them checked out. i think it's
    because i
    had to recreate my site definition about a week ago or so,
    and i deleted
    the old one. so it's like a user that no longer exists has
    them checked out.

  • My Java File gets a .LCK file attached - do not want it there

    I have a couple of Java files. When I go to compile them the IDE will not enable the compile option from the drop down list. I found there is a .LCK file in the same directory with the same name as my File..
    IE if my file name was Basketballs.java there is a .LCKBasketball.java
    When I erase the file from the directory it allows me to compile it but once I compile the file it creates a new .LCK file and the whole problem starts all over again.
    What must I do to stop this .LCK file from being produced so my file does not get locked from use.
    Or is this a silly virus that somebody put on my computer?

    This is a question the should have been asket at the unidentified IDE's website. It does not involve Java.

  • LCK files being created with PAK files when processed through ODDC

    I'm encountering a problem where after commit of a batch in ODDC the files are transferred to the server, but the PAK files are accompanied by a LCK file that is preventing the Distributed Document Capture service from picking them up and processing them. This started occurring after ODDC Patch 4 (14538424) was applied. I'd blame the patch, but not all users encounter the problem. Users encountering the problem are using Win7 and IE9. That said, users that don't encounter the problem are using the same OS and browser. Has anyone encountered this before? What was the resolution? I suspect it's a browser setting, but haven't identified it yet.
    Thanks

    I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.
    As per the solution suggested an “alter package XXX compile" can be executed after the changes are made and then we would no longer get the error in BPEL/ESB and dont have to bounce the server too.
    __http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=185762_
    However the above solution does not seem to resolve the issue.
    Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

  • Over-riding .LCK files on Inherited Website

    Is there any way of over-riding .LCK files?
    I’ve recently been given access to administer a
    department webpage at a university and defined a site on my
    computer - but when I accessed the server's directory I found the
    .htm files have the .LCK extension. I was able to download the
    files but am prevented from uploading any files. The original
    webperson has left and no one has any information.
    I was checking the archives and see that the .LCK is related
    to Dreamweaver's "check-in/check-out" feature which allows tracking
    of files when working in groups. But since I'm now become "the
    group", how do I over-ride this feature so I can work on the .htm
    files?
    ~CK

    Just delete the lck files on the server as I mentioned
    before.

  • .lck files not automatically deleting

    We save all of our .fm book and chapter files to a central server, and recently we've noticed that when we close a file the .lck file does not automatically delete. Thus, we are having to manually delete this before updating books, opening files, etc. We're using FM8 on PC's with Win 7 x64. We have FM set to run in XP x32 compatability mode, which is working pretty well for us aside from the aformentioned issue.
    Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas on a fix?
    Thanks! Scott

    Do the lock files actually still exist?
    If you're discovering them because FM is complaining on open, then yes they effectively still exist (although possibly only in server FS cache).
    But if you're merely seeing them in a file browser, they may or may not be there. Doing a refresh may or may not clear up matters,
    Browser currency is a fundamental, and probably intractable, problem in computer science. Many OS'es don't even attempt to keep track of multiple local and remote browsers that presently have a dir open, much less asynchronously force-refresh them when the dir contents change. Windows tries to, with an assortment of performance, nuisance and failure modes.
    I blame Bill Gates.
    Reboot the server .

  • HUNDREDS of .LCK files

    Hundreds of .LCK files are appearing on our server - most of
    them with Hidden file attribute set. The CPS log shows all these
    entries, typically by a single user, at a very specific date and
    time - seems to be when the user is trying to publish a file.
    Anyone know what is causing this? I can search/delete them in the
    file system, but I want to know the cause.
    Also, other symptoms we are experiencing are "Access Denied"
    and "Contact System Admin" when other users try to publish. Also, a
    ".new" is appended to the filename when this error occurs. Only way
    to fix this is to rename the file in the file system.
    I have a mixture of Contribute 3.11, Contribute 4.0 and
    Dreamweaver 8 users. I have CPS version 1.1.
    Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!!!!

    I'm not sure I have an answer for you on this, but I assume
    you know that the LCK files are how Contribute locks the actual
    files on the server to prevent 2 folks from editing the same page
    simultaneously. That being said, the LCK system kicks into gear
    when, at least for us, the administrator (who is in DW MX) has
    enabled the "Check In-Check Out" functionality for the site. The
    administrator gets messages in Contribute when a page is "locked"
    by a page author (meaning they are currently editing the page, have
    clicked "Save For Later", have clicked "Send for Review" or have
    exited Contribute without "disposing" of their draft in one of the
    above methods). Make sure folks are either publishing their drafts
    or "disposing" of them in one of these ways so that the locking is
    not occuring accidentally.
    Aside from that, the LCK's are normal and go away when a page
    is published. It's possible that you may have enabled the approval
    system "Send for Review" and this is starting to tie things up (you
    should probably have a lot of concurrent emails being sent as well
    in this case).
    As to the other errors you're getting, sometimes we get those
    too, and yet we are able to just close the error box and things go
    as intended. Other times not, and I think the whole thing is
    related to how much traffic the CPS server is handling...we tend to
    get more errors when things are really busy.
    Again, not sure if this was helpful, but maybe just some
    things to consider!

  • Delete LCK files??

    I have a bit of a muddled site at the momnet - heaps of files
    checked out
    that users didn't bother to check back in. Can I just go to
    teh server and
    delete all the LCK files to start fresh again??
    Any advice appreciated.

    If you remove all the LCK files, then you run the risk of
    version conflicts with the local drafts. However, if that doesn't
    matter and all the edits will be started over from scratch using
    the live pages, deleting the lock files shouldn't cause too many
    problems.

  • Hide .LCK files

    For some reason Dreamweaver CS5 is not hiding the _notes folders or .LCK files. I have freshly reinstalled and updated, but this problem persists. All documentation says these files should not be visible, but here they are.
    Please let me know how to hide these files, the way they should be, the way they were in CS4. You can even check out the .LCK files currently.

    In the expanded File panel, VIEW | Show Hidden Files.
    By the way, leaving this enabled is the only way you can see files such as ".htaccess" in your file list....

  • Hiding LCK files

    Is there a way to hide the LCK files in Dreamweaver that the
    Check In/Check Out system creates? It sure makes it hard to upload
    a bunch of files at once.

    CI/CO would be useful in this situation. Both of you need to
    be using it.
    I suppose the easy way to cope with the LCK files would be to
    sort the files
    list by file type. Could that do it for you?

  • Google Indexing mno.LCK files help

    Hi all is there any way to prevent google from indexing the
    check in/check out files ie mno.LCK, as I have a big site that uses
    this facility and these pages are getting indexed which is not
    good.
    I need some way of preventing this without having to use
    robot text for every single file as it would take forever. Is there
    a way I can add robots text to disallow all this files from getting
    indexed in one hit.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
    Cheers
    Gary

    Hello,
    You can block file types by adding this to your robots.txt:
    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /*.mno$
    Disallow: /*.LCK$
    Take care,

  • Table lck files

    Hi All,
    In SQL 2005/BPC 7(I think I am at SP1, but upgrade scheduling is in process, which might answer this question)
    I am seeing an issue where table locks are getting created, and I can't figure out why. Several threads on this forum talk about input templates hanging and not sending their data due to lck[application name] holding onto a stale lock. Removing the lock seems to correct the issue.
    What I can't figure out is why the locks are getting in there. Some times it's evident, a user left it open the server rebooted etc etc, but once a month we reboot the server (SQL and App) just for housekeeping. Post-reboot I check for locks, and there are none. One users opens an the input template to add forecast data, and the input never finishes. We see locks in the db from that user - I remove them, reboot again, and voila that user can now input normally.
    Any thoughts appreciated -
    Edward

    Hi Edward,
    You already have the answer to your query.
    Whenever a user is trying to access a particular region, that region gets locked, so that, noone else can change that region. Because in that case, if some other user changes the data, the first user will get affected. This is the reason this region gets locked and you can see this in the lck table. Now, if the user is accessing a region and if his task doesnt get completed (the template gets hanged), then the region is not released. Only when the task gets completed, the region is cleared and the lock entries are deleted from the table. However, if the task is not completed, then the lock entries will remain in the table and no other user can work on that region. The users will definitely be able to work on other data sets but not on this region. So, the lock needs to be deleted manually.
    So, instead of looking at the lock table issue, I would suggest you to look into the users as in why their task is not getting completed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't get past a "locked file" error, ie can't Publish?

    This software is very very very difficult to configure -- but
    I'd suppose you've heard that before re: Contribute C3. This is
    trying to get a new client (we're a web hosting co, who just got
    them from their previous web hosting firm who sold them on
    Contribute....idiots!) Anyways, I've had NOTHING but troubles with
    this app.....
    I learned how to operate the app, and how to generate a KEY
    to send to the new client, and made them an Admin and sent same and
    then went over there to their offices. My client rec'd the CONN KEY
    that I made. We ran it on their computer when prompted to by
    Contribute. we then restarted with them now as an Admin. Working at
    their offices, I was able to connect, then edit a page on their
    website no problem -- BUT -- as soon as I tried to PUBLISH same,
    you get a yellow bar up top that says "You can't edit this page now
    becuase you are already editing it on another computer. Click here
    to make this page editable" WTF???????????
    This statement is wrong. No one else (other than me and my
    computer is OFF) has the abiltiy to edit that page. No one else has
    the credentials to enable Con to work on that client site
    either...so....?????
    I then click the 'here' and I get the notice that Contribute
    must unlock the page (stupid non professional app!!!) and I then
    try YES, and I get the dialog that says "no, access is denied or
    there may be a permission problem."
    This too is not correct. I personally made the perms for the
    whole website folder structure read/write and they work fine. I can
    use my own CMS system to login and make a change that works
    perfectly.. But not using Contribute....sigh....and that client
    WANTS to use Contribute....sigh....
    Could someone offer help here? Adobe Tech support in some
    other country doesn't seem able to understand my problem, let alone
    help, let alone feel any sense of urgency as this is a CLIENT for
    christsakes.....anyways...here's my questions...
    Is there a way to totally CLEAR all the settings on the
    client machine Contribute, then re-use the KEY to begin a new Admin
    role? I'm a bit fearful of deleting that website but if someone
    here who's NON adobe personnel says okay, that'd be my next step.
    Or do I need to uninstall from my own box too?
    Or, is there a way to fix this, without that deletion? I'd
    feel better about another way....but no matter. My client only has
    one eyebrow raised up at me right now, but if I don't come up with
    an answer tomorrow, that client will most likely be gone!
    Help here someone?

    Hi, try clearing the Contribute Preferences once and try the
    same scenario. Check any .LCK file is created for that particular
    page. Delete that file manually and make it editable.
    To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the
    Contribute CS3 folder in C:\Documents and
    Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and
    also run the following command " reg delete
    "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 4.1" /f " if you are using
    Contribute CS3. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
    Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection
    will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections.
    It will be like a fresh installation.

  • DW8 grabs remote file when I try to edit local file

    DW8 acts like it was programmed this way, but it is not
    correct behavior. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this for
    me.
    I have the local website on a mapped network drive to a
    different server, and the remote (live) site is on another server
    only accessible via FTP. When I have the Files View drop-down set
    to Local View and the [Connects to remote host] button is NOT
    depressed, I should be able to double-click an .htm file and have
    it open up for editing. So, I do that and it then asks if I want to
    Get Dependent Files. I always say NO to this question. When the
    file opens, for some reason it has grabbed the REMOTE version from
    the live server (via FTP, I assume) without telling me it is doing
    that, and it has overwritten the local copy of the file. This is
    bad because other people in the office use different web editors,
    and they did work on that file prior to me trashing it....rats!!!
    WHY is DW8 grabbing the remote file for editing when I don't
    want it to? I want to edit the dang LOCAL file like I expect!! What
    am I doing wrong? Or is DW8 doing it wrong, and everyone in the
    world just expects it to be that way? How can I edit ONLY the local
    version of a file that exists on the remote server? I found that if
    the file is NOT on the remote server, then it simply opens the
    local file for editing as usual. I do not remember MX2004 acting
    this way because I never had that problem prior to my DW8 upgrade.
    Perhaps a clue is the dialog box that pops up asking if I
    want to "get dependent files"...the word GET is suspicious to
    me....
    HELP!!!! TIA!

    CI/CO uses the remote site as the resource for files, not the
    local site.
    The scheme is -
    1. You check out from the remote site
    2. You edit and save intermediate steps locally
    3. When editing is finished, you check in to the remote site
    This way, nobody can GET a file that you have already checked
    out until you
    check it back in.
    When you double click a local file in the File manager, if
    that file is NOT
    checked out to you, it will be checked out to you FROM THE
    REMOTE site. If
    it is checked out to you, it will open from your local site.
    > That action
    > doesn't make sense.
    Unfortunately, it makes complete sense.
    Read your help files on CI/CO again....
