Conflict prevent doc lock and unlock

Hi, We have a Notes application enabled the doc locking at database properties and no lock statement specified within any sub-routine. The server v 6.0.3 handle the lock and unlock automatically.

Sometime, we still receive replication conflict issue and today we receive “Changes made to database have NOT been incorporated into the database. There was a conflict detected. Your changes may be found in body of this message. A document link to the original document is attached to the end of the messag” error. The document is still remained lock and I have to ask for the document owner to do a dummy amendment to tick the system to release the lock when he is done.

Anyone know what is the problem? Server bug or something else. Please help.

Many thanks

Kevin

It’s a feature, not a bug. Someone made a change to a document and wasn’t able to automatically obtain a lock from the server (usually due to network issues or the server was down/unreachable, etc.). They got a dialogbox asking them if they want to take out a provisional lock, which they probably clicked “Yes” for. However, someone else got a ‘real’ lock before the prvisional lock from the other user could get promoted to a real lock, made a change and when the other user with the prvisional lock tried to save his/her changes, the conflict occured.

When will the document being unlock? The problem is the doc is still locked over 2 days and the owner tried to make a change and save it again but no luck, it created another conflict and the doc is still locked. How can we unlock it? I tried to run a agent to unlock it but I am not the doc owner…can’t do it.

Thanks

The lock-owner should select the doc in question, right-mouseclick it and select “Unlock…”.

Yes, but why is Notes/Domino not able to release the document when closing the document?

  1. Locks should only be set when documents are edited, not browsed.

  2. Off course the client (Notes/Web) could crash and then fail to release the lock, but this never occured here. But I still receive these “conflict messages”.

(BTW: I use R6.5.4)
