We are running SE V20 on a Windows 2003 Insight server with WSS 2.0 installed.

When a revision is made to an assembly or draft, a incremented revision is made in the Pre-Released library. When that is finished, our engineers move that document to the ECO folder for approval. Once that approval is made, the assembly is moved to the Released library and the status is changed to Released.

When the status is set to "Released" on the revision, Insight attempts to set the old assembly's status to Obsolete and move it to the Obsolete folder. This step is getting hung up because some of the child parts that are shared between the assemblies are getting an invalid SEStatus of "Obsolete Requested". It seems to me that this is happening because of the conflict of both assemblies having links to those parts.

First, is that conflict assumption correct? Second, if that is the case is there a fix? If not, is there a good work-around for that problem? I figured we can't be the only people dealing with this, so I was wondering how others handle the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When releasing parts, do they still have any active inter-part copies?
