How do I recover a file accidentally un-checked out?

The uncheckout operation discards changes to a previously checked out file. If the uncheckout is executed in error you may wish to recover the discarded file. Uncheckout saves the discarded file on the server computer.

To locate the folder where unchecked out files are stored execute the following command;
 
  cx get cxs.control.saveuncofiles

The discarded file can be found in the named folder on the server computer. The name is changed to <object id>.<revision>.<unique id>.<gz>

To identify the object id of the discarded file execute the following list command specifying the name of the file;

  cx ls -o <filename>

Example. If the file with object id 00000769 revision 9 is unchecked out once only, the saved file might be called

c:\program files\CodeMatrix\SaveUncoFiles\00000769.9.0.gz

Use the cxunzip utility to extract the file contents.
