Source Integrity - Sharing an archive fails because member is at exp. However member is not at exp.

A co-worker of mine has run into the following issue.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Integrity 10, Windows 7

Thanks

Mel

I have a project with a main branch and a variant branch.  Subsequent to the branch taking place, new files were added to the main branch that now need to be added to the variant branch.  When I View Project Differences the new files are indicated as dropped members in the variant branch.  The procedure I followed to try to add the new files is:

1 – I physically copied the files to the appropriate location in the variant branch sandbox

2 – I selected Add Members on the variant sandbox

3 – I selected Add File

4 – I browsed to the file to be added in the variant sandbox and selected it

5 – I clicked finish on the Add Members Wizard

6 – I clicked OK to create archive

7 – I selected share archive – this is the one I need because these are the same files that must exist in both the main and variant branches.

8 – When I click OK I get the following error message:

<filename>:MKS125475: You are not permitted to lock a revision whose current state is Exp.

The error message appears if there are LockStates set in the Configuration Management policies.  When adding an existing member, sharing the archive, the member is branched.  This branch briefly puts a lock on the head revision.  In this case, the head revision is in a state that does not allow locks.

There are three options:

  • Remove or change the lock states defined
  • Promote the member in the main branch to a state that allows locks
  • Use "Add From Archive" to add the member.  In this case, the member is not branched, so no lock is needed.

Thank you.  My coworker has gone with option 3 and it seems to be working well.
