Force cancel check out

When designers have checked out objects, they can cancel the check-out to remove the object lock without saving the modifications. If needed, administrators can forcibly use the command Force cancel check out in the object browser, but all the modifications will then be lost.

Take ownership

Normally, the replica server that owns some objects is the one to return (relinquish) the ownership to the master server when the objects are no longer needed on the replica. However, the administrators of the corresponding master servers also have means of returning the ownership to their respective sites.

The Take ownership command sets the server where the command is executed as the owner of the object, without informing the replica server that used to own the object. When a replica server performs an update with this server, any possible changes the replica may have made to those objects after the previous update are lost.

Note: The Take ownership command is disabled for documents.
