TFS 2012 - no lock on check-out though policy is lock exclusive

we have a team project defined based on CMMI template and lock exclusive checkin policy (i.e. multiple checkout is off) and checkout is defined to do also getlatest. Users do check-out and check-in fluently, and each time they check-out, the object gets
locked and into edit mode, as should be.
However, there's a user for which check-out doesn't lock, as if it were with multiple checkout on, and only when the user explicitly clicks on advaneced->lock and then check-out, the object gets locked as should be. This user tried the exact same thing
on another PC and got the same behavior. Deleting and recrating his workspace in workspaces window didn't help, nor obviously team explorer repair didn't resolve the problem.
Note, when this user performes checkout, the locking options field in the checkout window that opens, is open for seletion for one of the two options as shown in attached pictures, rather than closed field with lock exclusive in it. Strange.
Can u please advise how to find what the problem is in this case, and better yet how to resolve it ?
Attached pictures :

The default setting at the collection level is a "suggested" setting and it can be overrules by the individual users in their own workspace configuration.
You can check the workspace configuration for your users using the commandline:
tf workspaces /format:detailed /owner:* /computer:* /collection:http://jessehouwing:8080/tfs/DemoCollection
You can replace * in Owner and Computer with an actual username or computer name.
To update a workspace using the commandline, use:
tf workspace /location:server collection:http://jessehouwing:8080/tfs/Democollection <<workspacename>>;<<owner>>

Robohelp 9 and TFS 2012 issue - TFS linking is not working

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Robohelp 9 with Team Foundation Server 2012 on Windows 7 - 64 bit. I've also installed Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 MSSCCI Provider. I've also mapped the project folders on my machine.
But when I try to open any project, it is giving the following error message:
And if I click on Yes, it shows:
If I say No for this second message, it opens the project without TFS connection. I can't check-out any file. I can just modify it and it will be saved locally.
When I'm outside of Robohelp project, means in the project folder, I can see all the project files are mapped and they have TFS check-in/check-out/Get latest.... all these options as shown below:
But when I open the project, I can't see the TFS option under file menu.
Please suggest if there is any solution...
Thanks,
Dipali

Hi,
Just to be safe: Did you also install the VS 2012 Shell (Isolated) and the TFS plugin? As far as I know, you need the shell and the TFS provides apart from the MSSCCI provider. (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/robohelp-tfs-integration.html)
The interesting thing is not that the connection is lost, but that if you want to browse it, you don't see a browse page. Normally, RH would just show you a popup where you can select the project.
Now for some magic: **Note: I will describe how to manually change your source control link. Make sure that you have a backup apart from TFS, just in case.
Check out the .XPJ file.
Remove the .CPD file.
Open the .XPJ file with a text editor, such as Notepad.
Search for the text <name>vc::cookie</name>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::cookie</name>
<value>$/BV - MVV/Main/Key2Vergunningen/Tools/Documentatie/mvv-gebruikers</value>
</matchedpair>
Now get the path from the VS project ($/BV - MVV) and the full path to the folder in source control where the project is stored.
Set the complete path between the <value></value> tags.
Save the .XPJ file.
Open the project with RoboHelp.
You connection should now be restored. Note that if you make even a small mistake in the TFS project path, RoboHelp will not be able to find the project.

XPJ checked out of source control, other authors get error

Hi all,
We have three people on my team who update help topics. We
use RH 7 and Microsoft Visual Source Safe with auto
check-in/check-out. When one of us is in the help project and one
of the other two also enters the helps project, the second person
gets an error message saying "The files in the list below could not
be checked out from version control. Exclusive access to these
files is required to execute the selected action," and our xpj file
for the project is listed. The second person closes the dialog box
and proceeds to work. We know that when the first person enters the
help project, the XPJ file is checked out, but we're worried that
this error means something is wrong. Isn't the whole point of using
source control so that multiple people can work in the same
project? We don't understand why we're getting these error
messages. Nothing seems to have gone haywire with this, except that
we are having problems with conditional build tags getting out of
sync between our systems. We don't know if our tag problem is due
to the XPJ check-out issue. Are we not supposed to be have our XPJ
file in source control? Would this cause the tag problem?
I'm going to post a separate message about the tag problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Lisa

Hi Collum and Dhiren: Thank you for your assistance so far.
Update: Not all of our help projects' XPJ files get checked
out -- only this one project. Also, it appears that the problem
with our tags not sync'ing is related to the XPJ being checked out
by the first person to launch the project.
Specifics:
We actually have three help projects, one of which we all
work in regularly (hereafter called "Project Bad"), and two others
that only one or the other us works in regularly. I noticed that
the other help project I work in does NOT check out the XPJ file
when I open it (hereafter called "Project Good."). With Project
Good, I never get a message saying that it's checking the XPJ file
back in, and the VSS never shows that the XPJ file is checked out
when one of us is in it, although VSS always shows the correct
modified date when it was last modified. This a.m., I had one of my
co-authors test Project Good with me. We both opened it, created
new conditional build tags, applied tags to text, check things in
and out and in again, and not once did either of us get a message
about the XPJ file being checked out, nor did we have any problems
with our conditional build tags. Everything updated beautifully,
and yet, the topics are checking out correctly. Also, we don't have
"allow multiple check-out" selected for Project Good.
So, now I wonder if the settings are different between the
two projects, but I looked at the Properties for both projects and
XPJ files, and I see no differences between them.
One thing that does come to mind: Regularly, one of us gets a
VSS error message when working in Project Bad. I don't usually get
it, but the others do. I didn't realize how common it was until one
of the authors just told me. The message reads: "SourceSafe has
detected that a previous operation against the 'XYZ' database was
unexpectedly terminated. To remove from the failure, please ask
your SourceSafe Administrator to run the Analyze Utility." Might
this have something to do with the problem? This message is
referencing our entire database where all three help projects
reside, though, and the problem is only with one of the help
projects, so I'm not sure this is part of the problem. I will try
running the Analyze Utility today just in case, but I tried to do
it months ago and it failed. I gave up and didn't try again.
Does anyone have any ideas about this problem based on these
latest developments? I welcome any and all input.
Thanks,
Lisa

Cannot Check out controlled GPO's

Any help please

Permissions management for Domain Delegation is outlined on the page Domain Delegation tab. You will need to ensure that the user you are attempting to use is on the ACL.

A compare SSIS package checked out with TFS version in VS 2012 no longer shows messagebox 'The files are identical'

Hello,
Recently I have had started work on a development system that has VS 2012 and SQL Server Data Tools For VS2012. One thing that annoys me is the fact that a source comparison between a checked out package and the version stored in TFS
no longer displays the message 'The files are identical', but instead opens the text editor with 2 panes for both sources as if there were differences, with sliders at the right side that do not show any differences (everything in B&W of course). A simple
message like we had in VS2008 'The files are identical' would suffice to me. On the other hand when you check in the files with VS 2012 and they had not changed then the source control system warns that it did not make any changes since the files
were identical. Why did the VS 2012 team fix something that worked ? Is there some advantage that I am missing?

I did not see such an option, I asked around, appears nobody knows, but I admit there could be a way.
I still suggest opening an MS Connect so somebody from the development team would respond.

Cannot check out runbook (locked)

Hi,
I have this very strange behaviour on Orchestrator and it happened suddenly.
When I want to check out a runbook I had previously made a lock symbol is showed on that runbook.
The only option I have is "Undo Check Out". I also have this when I create a new runbook. When I want to put some activities in this new runbook on beforehand I have to "Check Out". The same lock is given and I only can do "Undo Check
Out".
When I check the database nothing is locked whith this query:
SELECT [UniqueID]
, [Name]
, [CheckOutUser]
, [CheckOutTime]
, [CheckOutLocation]
FROM [Orchestrator].[dbo].[POLICIES]
The result is NULL, which states that there are no locks.
The security rights are full control for the AD group "GROUPNAME" and my account is member in this group. This group is added to every folder in runbook designer.
When I start the runbook designer as the runbook service account then I perfectly can create and edit runbooks. There are no problems. This is very very strange since it happed suddenly.
Why do I have this problem?
How can I solve this problem?
Regards,
Mark

Update: I got myself domain admin right now.... no differences in behaviour. Still locked runbooks when I create a new runbook and check it out. In the above situation I have a seperate server where Runbook designer is installed and connected it remote to
the Orchestrator Management server.
As a second test I have installed runbook designer on the Orchestrator Management Server. When I create a runbook under the same user account as above I don't have the problem and I can check my runbook out and edit it without problems and then back, check
it in.
Now when I go back to the first server and make a remote session with runbook designer I can see the created runbook, but when I want to check it out it is locked.
I don't know what to do next. When I compare my two Orchestrator environments (different VLANs, so they do't see each other) I don't see any differences in securitysettings. I compared the policies on both environtments on both the remote server with runbook
designer and the ORchestrator Management server. The same policies are set and applied.
DCOM settings on the Orchestrator management server are exactly the same in both envoronments, I have the remote launch rights that are needed to start runbook designer and connect to the orchestror management server.
Some ideas?

Local check out

I am investigating the use of RoboSource Control 3.1 with
RoboHelp 7 HTML. The online Help says that local checkout is
available, which doesn't post any changes to the database until the
file is checked in. From within RoboHelp 7, how do I specify that I
want the checkout to be local? When I do a checkout now, it appears
to be posting changes to the database before the file is checked in
because if I do Get Latest as another user I see the changes even
though the file is still checked out. I would like to be able to
get the latest version of the RoboHelp project files without
including changes to any files that are currently checked
out.

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
First, since the TFS 2012.4 and VS 2012.4 have been released for a while, I'd like to suggest you upgrade your TFS 2012 and VS 2012 to the latest version for better experience.
And as far as I know, when we add new projects or files to a solution, they're supposed to be pending changes. There is a "+" before these new added files:
When you check in, please right click the solution, and then check in the entire solution. All files in this solution should be checked in to TFS. See the following screenshot:

Multi user catalog and how to make it - use a checked out system

Lots of people want or need a Multi user ability in lightroom here is one way to achieve multi-user catalogs by using a check-in check-out system.
The Catalog would open normally upon a second user opening LR would then ask to switch to multi-user mode.
Once in multi user mode lightroom would lock-out images, collections, or folders by a checked-out for editing system.
By checking-out images, collections, or folders: files would be unavailable to other users until edits are saved, and the images, collections, or folders are checked-in.
This check-in check-out system would need a global check-in feature in case someone forgot to check in an image, collection, or folders (global check-in could be admin level). Word documents, CAD files, etc, use a similar lock-out/read only system for the files. Since, we wouldn't want to bloat the files with programing to lock out the files, this would have to be added to the catalog and managed by the catalog.

Your thread pool is a pool and probably keeps
the thread alive even though the thread has nothing
after a minute toi execute - you'll have to call its
shutdown() methodThanks Oxe...
I googled that (easy when you know what the answer is) and yes the ScheduledThreadPool retains threads for re-use, so you have to check that all threads are done and then shutdown() the scheduler... like this:     while (!future.isDone()) {
          try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
     scheduler.shutdown();
... here is the complete working class:
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture;
import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
class BeeperControl {
     private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
     public void beepForAMinute() {
          final Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          final Runnable beeper = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    tk.beep();
                    System.out.println("beep");
          final ScheduledFuture<?> future = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 250, 250, MILLISECONDS);
          scheduler.schedule(
               new Runnable() {
                    public void run(){
                         future.cancel(true);
               }, 3, SECONDS
          while (!future.isDone()) {
               try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
          scheduler.shutdown();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          BeeperControl bc = new BeeperControl();
          bc.beepForAMinute();
}Thanx again. Keith.

How do I checkin/unlock files that I checked out under a different computer name?

My hard drive went bad. My IT department migrated me from windows 7 to windows 8 and also to a different user and computer name in a new domain. Now I cannot unlock files that were checked out on the old drive under the old domain user & computer.
I tried running Visual Studio 2013 under the old user name (using Run as other user), but appears that the files are inaccessibly locked on the old and no longer existing computer name.

Hi John,
Based on your description, your TFS and current client machine in different domains.
In this situation, you can contact your TFS administrator to make two-way trust between the two domains, then add the current user account as a team member of your team project. After that, you can ask team project collection Administrators to
unlock the file that your locked. Or ask the administrators to add your account to the group of "Project Collection Administrators". Then you can unlock the source files by yourseft after a workspace mapping on client machine. Check this
page for more information about lock and unlock files or folders.

TFS 2012 Scheduled Backups - Permission error

Hi All,
I am trying to configure auto backup using the Schedule Backups wizard. However, I get the below erros during the Readiness Checks step. I have check the SQL databases but couldn't figure out which one is having issue. Need some help. Thanks

Hi Ultragc88,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the detailed version of your TFS 2012?
To create Backup plan, you must be a member of both of the following groups:
1
The Administrators security group on the server that is running the administration console for Team Foundation.
2
The SQL Server System Administrator security group. In addition, the service account for TFS (TFSService) must have
SQL Server Perform Back Up and Create Maintenance Plan permissions set to
Allow on each instance of SQL Server that hosts the databases that you want to back up.
3
The Farm Administrators group in SharePoint Foundation 2010, or an account with the permissions required to back up the farm.
If you ensure you have the above permissions correctly, but still occur the same error, please share the full backup plan creating log here.
For more information about create TFS 2012 backup plan, please refer to this document:

Dreamweaver CS4 isn't letting me unlock (check out) my files

So I'm in a pickle here. Just the other day I was working on my site and I was checking in and out files from my website. Today when I go and try to check out files from my website it just says something like....
'File activity incomplete'
and then...
'index.php is a locked file and can be viewed but not changed. What would you like to do with this file? View | Cancel'
No one else has these files checked out on the server, it's just me and according to Dreamweaver all of the files have a lock icon next to them and are all checked int, it's just not letting me check them out.
Just a few days ago things were working fine, I haven't done anything at all since then and now I can't find any way of unlocking these files to make changes to them!
The funny thing is if I create a new page, check it in (which locks the file) and then check it out (unlocking it), it works just fine and let's me check the new page in and out without any errors at all.
What's going on here, better yet, how can I fix this?
I'm using CS4 by the way.

Hi,
If in iChat > Preferences > Alerts you have the AppleScript set on File Transfers to Auto Accept then reset them on each computer.
Have you tried sending them in different ways ?
Dropping on a Buddy with No Chat open.
Dropping in a Chat (Text Field) and sending with no accompanying text.
Same with text.
From the Buddies Menu with Text Chat open
Right Click a Buddy (same menu)
Dragging File over a Video Chat.
Try adding a Public DNS server such as Google's 8.8.8.8 in to the System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab
Repeat for other computers.

Jdev: public_html is being periodically left checked out ???

We have an odd and periodic problem happen. OSCM version: 4.11
- Periodically a check out is left on a directory (public_html in Jdev)
- Someone else is allowed to checkout this directory and check in. This leaves
We have exclusive lock enabled!!!!! ???
- This leaves the dangling check-out hung
Attempts to check-in force a merge, which hangs with CPU spinnnin on the RON
- Undo checkout is the only solution.
- When the earlier version is locked, all Jdev us of adding files is blocked even though
the top version is one greater than the checked out version.
Anybody have any ideas?
TIA curt

We have had a similar problem. It occurs when someone adds a new file to the repository without first downloading the latest version. If the developer's current workarea has an older version of the public_html folder, jdeveloper cannot check in the folder with the added files since there is a newer version. Since our repository rules are the latest content of a root folder, the refresh associated with the download updates to the latest public_html version before the add occurs. We also found that the merge does not work properly once the problem occurs. The merge window does not accurately indicate the differences between the versions and if you go ahead with the merge, the files not listed will not be present in the new checked in folder.

Multiple people checked out a story at the same time

Had a strange incident today where two incopy users had story checked out at the same time. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. I checked the links, they were going to the same place. One user lost his changes when both checked in the story. How could this happen? Looked like maybe the locked file was disappearing for some reason.

Pretty much covered this in the ID forum.

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?

I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.

The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.
