AE 5.4 M150 ties up directory of last file edited

We encountered the same problem about a year ago when testing AE 5.4 in our CMS environment. PTC provided me with a diagnostic ACL file called doc_close2. We ended up being able to solve the problem by replacing the code we used to use to close the file in the editor's checkout directory. The old file closing code was:

if(doc_window(doc) > 0) { file_close( doc_window(doc) ); }

Now instead of file_close, we call a new ACL file:

if(doc_window(doc) > 0) {doc_close_unlock(doc); }

Here is doc_close_unlock.acl:

#### Routine adapted from PTC's diagnostic routine; need to close and unlock the XML file upon check-in or ###
#### cancel check-in, in order for java to be able to remove the file from the checkout folder ###############

function doc_close_unlock(doc = current_doc()) {

local path = doc_path(doc);
if (!path)
{
message = "Document id $doc has no associated path. Document not closed!\n\n";

}
else
{
local count = 0;

while (doc_valid(doc))
{
#doc_close(doc);
file_close( doc_window(doc));
}

local dobj = dobj_construct(path);
if (dobj_valid(dobj))
{
if (dobj_is_my_lock(dobj))
{
#message .= "\n\nDocument is still locked by some document object; even after closing";
# Forcibly close this reference.
dobj_unlock(dobj);
}

# Release the dobj we created above.
dobj_close(dobj);
}

}

}

Not sure if this will work for you, but hopefully it is helpful.
