Hi folks,
I just returned from vacation and to my horror I'm having a problem where I can not edit any views in a particular package. When I open my views I get warning 'The object is currently opened in read-only mode; object belongs to ABC workspace of the user XYZ.'. So I try clicking the 'switch version' icon and option for 'take over from user XYZ' however when i do I get an even more scary error;
'The object <MyViewNameHere> is marked for delete in the ABC workspace of XYZ user. If you proceed with take-over, the object will move to your workspace but will not be visible in the navigator. You may then delete the object permanently by activating it from workspace activation dialog in the Quick Launch page. Do you want to proceed with take-over?'
So naturally this error scared me so I made sure to choose a view that I knew I no longer needed and sure enough when I take-over the object then disappears! I checked with the user who has somehow taken over my objects and it looks like the objects are checked out on their personal workspace with an X on top of them indicating they were deleted.
How can I restore these views? I realized I can copy each view individually with success however this is cumbersome as I have dozens of views. Does anybody know what may have went wrong and if I can recover these?
Thanks,
-Patrick
