Document was blocked in 'Working Copy'

[alvarogonzalez]

Hello,

The other day a colleague was editing a document in your computer downloaded from Alfresco and the program was used to edit the document was closed unexpectedly.

Now, in Alfresco share, document appears as a working copy.If you download the document and upload to alfresco again. This generate new versión and you lost all changes do it.

If from Alfresco admin website (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/alfresco/faces), I make chek out, with admin user and normal user,and I get the following error :

" Please correct the errors below then click OK.
Unable to cancel check out of Content Node due to system error:04150203 The original node cannot be found. Perhaps the copy has been corrupted or the original has been deleted or moved."

Also, I try connect to postgress alfresco database and delete the rows, involved in the document,in alf_node_properties table. But it did not work. The document disappears but also more items in the folder that contained in Alfresco Share. I restore database and now the documento appear like "Working Copy" and still neither the user nor administrator can unlock.

Regards

We also see this effect from time to time. It seems there is still a bug in Share or in the transaction handling ending up in something like a deadlock:
- document is locked
- document is checked out (ASPECT "cm:checkedOut")
- document has no working copy (no assoc "cm:workingcopylink")

document.unlock();‍

–> could not be unlocked since it is checked out.

document.cancelCheckout();‍

–> workingcopy aspect is missing from this node

document.removeAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}checkedOut");‍

–> node is locked.

The only work around I found was to restart Alfresco to release the lock. After that you can clean the node / remove the aspect using Java Script.
