Unlocking solution assets

If a solution asset is locked by a user and the user cannot unlock it, for example the user is on vacation or left the company, you can unlock the asset by using the IBM® Business Automation Workflow Case administration client .

About this task

When a user opens a solution asset for editing, the asset is locked until the user commits the updated solution. If the user cannot clear the locks by committing the solution, you can unlock the assets by using the IBM Business Automation Workflow administration client.
Attention: When you unlock an asset by using the IBM Business Automation Workflow Case administration client , any draft edits that were made to the asset are lost.

  1. Start the Case administration client .
    Enter the following URL in a browser:

    port is the IBM Content Navigator port number.
  2. In the navigation tree in the left pane, select an object store and click Solutions.
