The Source Integrity Professional Edition User Guide - MKS

Managing Archives and Revisions
Microsoft’s Messaging Application Program Interface results in a
mail notification dialog box that lets you send email to the user
whose lock you are breaking.
Note Although you may not be prohibited from breaking some else’s
lock, you should be cautious about doing so, since it can result in
confusion and duplication of effort in shared working environments. For
information on permissions, see “Security and Administration” on
page 34.
To unlock a revision in the Windows interface:
1. Select a locked revision in the Archive window, one that has a
padlock symbol ( ).
2. Choose Archive > Unlock Revision or click .
The padlock symbol and the name of the user who had the
revision locked both disappear.
To unlock a revision in the Source Integrity Web Interface:
Select a locked revision in the Member, Sandbox, or Project views and
choose Unlock.
To unlock a revision in the command line interface:
Use the rcs command with the -u option. Its syntax is
rcs -u[rev]
where rev is the revision number. If a branch is given, the latest
revision on that branch is unlocked. If rev is omitted, any revision
locked by the user is unlocked. If no such revision exists, the most
recent lock that has been set is removed, if there is one.
