I am trying to unlock a document that has a provisional lock set on it.
I have tried calling doc.unlock as well as using the formula @doclock([unlock]), but neither method results in the lock being removed.
What is strange is that I can still get into the document, as I am the lockholder, but it remains locked even after I go into the doc, change something and then save it.
Does anyone know how to correct his or what is going on here?

I don’t know how to make the formula method or script command work for you, but I get “permanent provisional” locks put on any design documents that were open when Notes crashes.
I’ve been able to clear them using “Unlock Design Element” from the Design menu in the Designer client. I would assume the “Unlock Document” option on the Actions menu would work the same way from the client. (These are only available from the view level)
Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for, but hope it helps.

Thanks for your response.
I have not tried the Unlock Design Element, as I really would like to find a solution that a normal (author) user is able to invoke and, in that respect, the unlock option from the action menu does not unlock the document either.
So I am still wondering why the doc.unlock/ @doclock([unlock]) does not work. I thought it was supposed to unlock all documents, regardless of the type of lock or the causes of the lock being there in the first place.
Any other thoughts?

I am able to unlock the doc by submitting the doc upon the action/button and running an agent in the form’s web query save event.
Are you running your app in the client or on the web? I’ve read that @doclock([unlock]) is not supported on the web.
