We recently went to 4.2 SP6 and welcomed the new “Switch Object Library” feature we’ve been waiting for for so long. But in practice, we are seeing a potentially serious problem. When switching libraries, we often get a message that the repository is in use, but by our own userid. So, as in the past, we assumed we had an orphan Designer session that had not closed down properly and do a reset. But…
We are finding that when getting that “in use by your own userid” message when using Switch Object Library, if we shut down Designer, restart it, and select the same repository, we see that it is actually in use by a different user. So “Switch Object Library” can see that the new repository selected is in use, it just always gives you back your own userid erroneously.
Is this a known error that has a fix ready or coming?
