Determine the Checkout Status of an Object

Determining the checkout status of an object lets you see which subsets contain the selected object, the user ID associated with the checkout and the protection granted for the object.

Use this list to identify potential downgrades for the selected object.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open a model or a subset.
3. Select any option which lets you select individual object occurrences. For example:
   • Delete Object
   • Rename Object
   • Object Cross Reference Report
   • Select New Objects for Subset
4. From an Object Occurrences list, select an object and click Checkout Status.
5. Use online help (see the Subset Checkout Status List topic) to interpret displayed fields on the Checkout Status Report.

Note: For more information, see Checkout Status Report for Selected Object in the chapter “Encyclopedia Reports” in the CA Gen Client Server Encyclopedia User Guide.

To perform a trial checkout to determine potential downgrades for objects, run the Expansion Conflict Report.

Note: For details, see the Expansion Conflict Report for Selected Model or Subset in the “Encyclopedia Reports” chapter in the CA Gen Client Server Encyclopedia User Guide.
