How to enable RTC to notify if a file is already checkedout?
Is it possible to configure RTC to notify a user if a file is already checked out?
For example, if I want to check out a file which is already checked out by another user, is it possible to have RTC display a message stating, "Note, file xyz.txt is currently checked out by 2 other users". |

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER Is it possible to configure RTC to notify a user if a file is already checked out? RTC 2.0 allows locking files on a stream to prevent from concurrently modifying them. I don't know of a notification for modified files. Since Files are not really checked out (actually they are modified in the repository workspace) I can imagine that this is hard to implement. For example: if I work disconnected the Repository workspace will not even see the modification unless I check in. The whole notion of checking files out (from ClearCase and other systems) seems to be contrary to Jazz SCM working model. You might consider submitting a work item however. Ralph |

There is a work item requesting this functionality (work item 29735).
There is another work item asking that the current locking functionality be enhanced with this kind of notification (work item 77416). Please feel free to add your comments/support to either of these work items. Cheers, Geoff rschoon wrote: BigBrianwrote: |
