Reuse instance name

Reuse instance name

I have checked out an instance, deleted it (logical) and checked in the deleted instance (permanent?). When I create a new instance with the same name, Advisor would not allow it.

Is there a way to use the same name again?

We use Database repository with BVS pvt. workspace, if that matters.

    Ram,

         What I have found I have had to do is rename the instance before deleting.  Normally, I add my name and the date to the instance name like "Instance Name - Tom - 2009-11-28", then save then delete, then check-in.  Now, the old one has a new name and a new one can be created with the name you want.

    Thanks for the workaround Tas!

    I was wondering if version control is why the tool does not allow it. Did you get versioning issues with the workaround? I am guessing there shouldn't be any, but just to be sure

    Thanks!

    Physical deletions don't happen when using version control.  Not sure if there is a way to make it happen either.

    So, although the name is not in the repository anymore, it's still physically there (deleted items folder).

    As Tas wrote, I believe that work around is what our folks use as well.  Just restore it from the deleted items folder, change the name and delete again.
