We have a machine where sometime brand ne files, that have never been checked in, chect flagged as if they were checked out on another machine. The machine has not been renamed nor was it evenre worked on on another machine.
Win 7 x64, EPDM 2010 SP 4.
Why would the Vualt View ID change when nothing changed and the vault view did not change? Is there away to restablish this? This sounds related to my mystery of the Bllueberry Icon disappearing.
Hi Barry,
Whenever, you recreate a local view (blueberry) it gets a unique ID. This ID is referenced when a file is added to a users local view.

Joy, do you know if when recreating a local view, the new ID can be changed to the same ID as the old vault view, allowing the users to check in the files? We forgot to check in files before we reinstalled the PDM Client.
I couldn't find how to do this in S-019031
At this stage our solution is to:
1. Copy the local files to a new location
2. Admin will Undo the checkout of the files
3. Checkout those files again
4. Save the local files in the new location back into the vault
5. Check them back in
Hi Jonathan -
I admit I'm a bit rusty at this. I highly recommend opening an SR with your VAR before attempting to fix it yourself.
Have you reviewed solution S-038423?
Cheers,
Joy
Yes S-038423 was the solution I needed.
Changing the Vault view to a normal folder, and moving the checked out/local files into the new vault was what I did.
I followed the steps from Francisco Guzman in thread below:
Local vault view not connected to database, error - vault view already exists.
Thanks heaps guys
The vault View ID matches in the registry. Barnd new files as of Friday were created but not checked in. Now today the vault is confused.
On this machine the Vault ID is present in the Desktop INI file BUT the ViewID is missing. Hmm.. The view was not deleted. Hmm.
Hi Barry,
This error can occur when the local view was deleted and recreated on the computer. The view ID is unique and when the file was added to the local view the relationship to the view ID was established.
Please reference the solution below:
S-019031: What can cause the warning “The file is checked out on another computer” to show when trying to check in a file in a PDMWorks® Enterprise file vault view?
