In order to maintain workspace integrity, Sun WorkShop^TM TeamWare automatically locks workspaces during bringover and putback transactions. Sun WorkShop TeamWare also removes these locks after the transaction is completed. Normally, you will not encounter a locked workspace. However, if a transaction encounters problems, sometimes locks stay in place and you can no longer access the workspace. If you are sure no one else is accessing the workspace, but a lock still remains, you can remove it manually.

Caution - Ensure that no one else is modifying the workspace before removing the lock! Removing a lock from a workspace that is currently being modified by another user compromises the integrity of that workspace.

1. Check that no one else is modifying files or performing any transactions in the workspace.
