Applied dimensionality

If you're using CVS for your Cognos Framework manager models (and I recommend to do that, it's essential as multi-developer and backup_to_point tool), you can encounter the problem I've met today.
Something went wrong during checkout on one machine and model became marked as "checked out" prohibiting further changes. With no way to toggle undo check out from FM (don't know why).
So here are the steps allowing you to unlock model:
1 Login to server where cvs server is installed (by the way, CVSNT works nice for me). You can do it from local machine, but not in 2 steps
2 run cmd.exe
3 Enter following lines

 
set CVSROOT = YOUR_PATH_TO_FM_REPOSITORY
mkdir c:\temp\cvsroot
cd c:\temp\cvsroot
cvs checkout cvsroot
cvs admin -u
 

those lines checkout your project to temporary directory and then drop all locks on cvs project.
that's all ), you can checkout models again.
