Override Checkout Status for a Subset

Override Checkout Status for Subset changes a subset's checkout status from checked out to checked in and makes another checkout of the subset possible. This transaction requires no confirmation.

All work that is done on the workstation since the last checkout or update is lost. All work that is previously updated to the Host Encyclopedia will not be rolled back.

You can override the checkout status for a subset if you:

• Log on with the ID used to check out the subset.
• Log on as the model administrator (individual or group ID) and change the checkout ID to your ID.
• Log on as the encyclopedia administrator.

If the target subset is one you are working on, use override checkout status followed by a new checkout when you have made changes to the checked out subset that you do not want to check in, and you want to roll back to the status of your subset at last update.

Note: The subset on the toolset is not updated to Read Only. As a result, changes can still be made but cannot be applied to the Host Encyclopedia:

• If the target subset is one you have only checked out but received an incomplete subset, override the checkout status, modify the subset definition, and check it out again.
• If you are the encyclopedia administrator, use override checkout status to check in all checked out subsets for any important objective that requires all subsets or models to be checked in.
• If you are the model administrator and the current user is unable to check in the subset, you can release the subset from checked‑out status without risking updating the model with untested changes.

Note: To undo the effect of an override, create a new model from the subset and use Version Control to migrate the changes back to model originally.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu, select Host Encyclopedia Functions, Subset Management, Override checkout status for subset or enter 1.4.10.

                        Override Checkout Status for Subset                       
                                                                                  
                      Model Name   __________________________ +                   
                      Subset Name  __________________________ +                   
                                                                                  
                      User ID      __________________________ +                   
   
   

2. Enter the Host Encyclopedia name of the model.

   To use the model name selection list instead, tab to the model name and press F4.

3. Enter the subset name and press Enter, or tab to the subset name and press F4 to use the subset selection list.
4. Enter the TSO user ID of the person to whom the subset is now checked out. Press Enter.
