Sharepoint file locking (10 min wait from new file upload)

When I upload a new file to sharepoint and try to edit the document, I receive an error that says the the file is currently locked for editing by another user. My google search told me: "the
write lock times out after 10 minutes. Users cannot modify the document during the time when the document is locked. To work around this behavior, wait 10 minutes before opening the document again."
Is there a better more viable option for saving new documents to sharepoint, so I can edit them right away? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,
As I understand, when you uploaded a new file to SharePoint and tried to edit the file, you received an error” the file is currently locked for editing by another user”.
How do you try to edit the file? Edit in the Windows Explorer or edit in the Excel or Word? Which file type has encountered the issue?
Check things below:
1. Check the details of the error in the ULS log.
2. Check whether the file has been properly checked in or not. If not, refresh the page and try to check in the file again.
3. Delete the local copy of the file present in the cache folder of the concerned user account (access to user’s PC required).
4. Close all the instances of file type opened in the system. E.g. if the file type is excel, then close all the excel files currently opened.
5. Also kill the file type service using the task manager.
6. You can install the latest rollup and updates for SharePoint 2013 and the latest update for the Microsoft office. If you have the issue with the excel file, you can install the latest Cumulative Update for Excel.
There is another solution here is to build a small program to unlock the document/file against SharePoint Content Database. You can refer to the article below:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/251161/Resolve-SharePoint-Document-Locked-for-Editing-Iss
The article below is about File is locked for editing by ‘domain\username' when editing office document in SharePoint site.

On-demand scanning for only new files or scan a list from a file

I run a free to use file hosting service and with it are the risks of abuse for malware. In the past I've used ClamAV with a bash script to search for any files that are as old or newer than X minutes, usually about 5 minutes and put the found files listed line by line in a file and ClamAV will scan those files only. Put on a Cron for every 5 minutes to run. ClamAV's detection is pathetic though and has not caught most of the stuff it has needed to find. So switching over to Sophos Linux, it has done a great job already detecting multiple files of the uploaded files folder that ClamAV had already missed in the past. It takes just 3 1/2 minutes for it to scan through 3500+ files and archives totaling 17 gigs. I have it set to scan the whole directory every 5 minutes. This takes a while, even if it is under 3 1/2 mins. Ideally I want Sophos to only scan new files so it can be set to run every minute, or every 5 minutes, whether that be from it's command line or via it reading a file list. This way newly uploaded malware is taken care of as fast as possible for the security of the end users. Here is the script file I use for Sophos already: #! /bin/bash

Sophos has 'decision caching' to speed up files that haven't changed since the last scan, while also allowing files to be re-checked against the latest threat definitions.

Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files

I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
Thanks!

Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
Best wishes,

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

HT4437 how may I add files to time capsule apart from backup files?

how may I add files to time capsule apart from backup files?
I'm able to perform backup (time machine). May I add pictures, texts, movies...?

not sure if this is a spc. appletv question or if you posted it in the wrong forum but there is no way
for an appletv to access files directly from an time capsule it can only! access a shared lib from itunes from a computer running and running itunes

File reporter questions - pulling data from db / files for o

I've been trying to find a way to query or pull file and path info for volumes from the file reporter databases without needing to give access to the file reporter app. I have an outside group that I need to provide the file structure to, but don't need to give all of the info to, and need to provide it in the form of a text file. I could script this out, but if file reporter does this also, I don't see the point in duplicating the data out there.
In reviewing the content of the sqlite databases it doesn't appear that the actual file system info. I see a lot of references to what I think may be files in the directory structure that the databases are located in. looking over the logs and debug files in these directories they look like they may contain what I am looking for, but I'm not sure what can be used to open or extract the data from them. Does anyone know what I would use to open or extract the zcf files located in them?
so I've made a few attempts at trying to figure out the format these are in, but know they are not sqlite data... not zip or gzip... but definitely some sort of data file.

rbgnr111,
It sounds like you might be better off exporting a report which suits
your needs as a CSV file (which can be done from within File Reporter)
and stripping out unnecessary 'columns' of metadata after the fact. This
would be a great deal simpler than extracting the data from the database.

I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one. Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one. Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions. That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

When I select files to archive, they move from my file folder, but then I go to the archive folder and it says Empty? Where are those files?

Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
$ id
You should see a line that starts with something like this:
uid=501(your_user_id_here)
now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
$ ls -ld Music
drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here staff 272 May 14 16:08 Music
Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
$ chown -R johnsmith Music
Now try and access it with iTunes.

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

File Name not set when creating new file in EP 6.0 SPS20

Hi,
We recently upgraded from EP6 SP15 to SP20. Now when I create a new file or folder in a KM folder, the name that I give for the resource is not taken into account. The display name of the newly created resource will be <b>New Text</b> or <b>New HTML Document</b> or <b>New Folder</b>, etc. Even if I open the Properties and change it there, it is not getting reflected. But if I select Rename from the Context menu and give a new name, it gets set. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Automate 'Load files into stack' and save as new file

Hello there,
I hope someone can help me with the following issue:
I have 300 folders, each containing 100 images which I need to open as layers, change the opacity to 1% for every layer, flatten the image and then save as a new file. So for every folder I would need one new file generated from the 100 originals.
I know how to do it manually, i.e. load every folder with the 'Load files into stack' command and let an action run for the rest, but that does take some time with 300 folders. Maybe someone knows how to manipulate the 'load files into stack' script so that it does the job independently.
Thank you for your answers.

I think you would be better off starting from scratch with a new script for the design and structure of the 'Load files into stack' script is not easy to comprehend.
I guess that’s sound advice.
But another point, leroybak:
What are you trying to achieve here anyway?
If you want to »blend a movie into one image« like a continuous exposure of the whole movie on photographic paper (and it has been done) changing all layers opacity to 1% might be not altogether the ideal route.
Instead converting the Layers to one Smart Object and invoking Layer > Smart Layers > Stack Mode > Mean might be better in that all layers contribute to the resulting values equally.

Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

Hi,
A client confronted me with the next question:
I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
And after that the third?
Etc.
Is that possible with an action?
Or are there scripts for?
I couldn't find them.
I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Bornholm

You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page. Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could be programed. There maybe some security coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.
