Question

When I attempt to run an ‘scm load’ I receive this error :

another rcp application is running in this sandbox file locked at file
c:\workspaces\myworkspace

How can this error be fixed ?

I’ve successfully used the scm load command before so maybe I need to perform some ‘tidying up’ after I load a workspace as this just occurs when I change workspace?

This thread sums it up:

Two potential solutions:

1. Run lscm.bat instead of “scm.exe” to do the checkin
   lscm will contact your RTC eclipse client to perform the checkin
2. Use a separate sandbox and repository workspace
   Use scm.exe to load a repository workspace into a separate sandbox (e.g. c:\Workspaces\sandbox1)
   • Make changes to the files in that sandbox
   • Use scm.exe to check in those changes and deliver them
