Unlock node

[sanjaybandhniya]

I am trying to unlock node using cancel editing but due to some error, it is not getting unlock.

I am not able to perform any type of operation on that node.

How Can I forcefully unlock?

If you know how to create javascript webscript, you can inspire from this one:

var nodeId = url.templateArgs.id;
var workNode = null;
var workNodeStatus = null;
model.msg = "";
model.nodeId = nodeId;

workNode = search.findNode("node", ["workspace", "SpacesStore", nodeId]);

if (workNode != undefined) {
        workNodeStatus = workNode.hasAspect("cm:lockable");
}

if (workNode == undefined) {
    status.code = 404;
    status.message = "Object " + nodeId + " not found.";
    status.redirect = true;
}

if (workNode != undefined && workNodeStatus == true) {
        workNode.properties["cm:lockOwner"]="admin";
        workNode.unlock();
        workNode.properties["cm:lockOwner"]="admin";
        workNode.removeAspect("cm:lockable");
        workNode.save();
        delete workNode.properties["webdav:opaquelocktoken"];
        delete workNode.properties["webdav:lockScope"];
        delete workNode.properties["webdav:lockDepth"];
        workNode.save();
        model.msg = "is unlocked";
} else if (workNode != undefined && workNodeStatus == false) {
    model.msg = "is not locked";
} else {
    status.code = 500;
    status.message = "Sorry, something went wrong. See log file.";
    status.redirect = true;
}

<webscript>
  <shortname>Unlock document</shortname>
  <description>Unlock document</description>
  <url>/AdminTools/unlock/{id}</url>
  <format default="xml">argument</format>
  <authentication>user</authentication>
  <transaction>required</transaction>
  <cache>
        <never>true</never>
  </cache>
</webscript>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node>
    <id>${nodeId?xml}</id>
    <updated>${xmldate(date)}</updated>
    <message>${msg}</message>
</node>
