"No entity selected for checking-out" (OpenInsight Specific)

I try to checkout - both to and from - but after I have selected the items to checkout and press the final OK button I just get "No entity selected for checking-out". I admit I don't do checkouts often, but I have managed to do them successfully earlier. What can be wrong now?

Oystein,
Can you make sure that you have a BTREE index on APPUSERSTATUS on the SYSREPOSLOCKS file? This index is used with check in and check out.
Good Luck…
Blaise.

Blaise,
I don't even have a SYSREPOSLOCKS file…
I checked my notes and found that I deleted it last fall. I had some problems with !SYSREPOSLOCKS and SYSREPOSLOCKS. When I rebuilt system indexes I got "FS 145. !SYSREPOSLOCKS*GLOBAL does not exist". I wanted to remove it but could find neither !SYSREPOSLOCKS nor SYSREPOSLOCKS. I tried to add it, but got a warning it was already there. Etc, etc, etc. Finally I deleted it. How do I get it back? (I have no check-outs I need to keep track of.)

Oystein,
Is reinstalling OpenInsight an option for you? This is one way of getting this file and index.
Let me know…
Blaise.

Hmm… You mean APPBACKUP all my apps, reinstall and restore from APPBACKUP? (And remember to do IMPORTEXPORT by hand - was that it?) I'll think about it.
By the way - sooner or later I have to upgrade my OI from 3.3. Will that reinstall SYSREPOSLOCKS? (It's just that I thought I'd wait another month before I upgrade, but if that fixes the problem I might reconsider.)
This is one way of getting this file and index.
What are the other ways? I can afford to wait a week or two before it is fixed.
Can't the file somehow be copied in from a different copy of OI???
Thank you very much for your help so far.

Sure. Just copy the REV file from one copy to another, add the information to the media map, then get it into the DBT.
From a command line in SYSPROG:
RUN ALIAS_TABLE REVBOOT SYSPROG REVMEDIA REVMEDIAIn the System Editor, create 3 new records,SYSREPOSLOCKS*GLOBAL, DICT.SYSREPOSLOCKS*GLOBAL and !SYSREPOSLOCKS*GLOBAL
One the first line, place the REV numbers of the appropriate data files.
In the SYSREPOSLOCKS*GLOBAL file, place SI.MFS on the second line.
You should be able to attach the tables in and just save the database. However, since this is a system table, you might have to hack it in yourself.
If you need to know how to do this part, post back and we'll look into something for you.

So far it sounds straightforward.

I might need help with this part. But I can try first. Or you can give me a hint what the problem's about. (I haven't more time today/this weekend. My sister-in-law's getting married and I'll be busy preparing a speech (about the bride and groom's unhealthy obsession with text coding and SGML) and partying.) But I wanted to thank you today. Have a nice weekend!
