I have been working with Enterprise Architect modeling different artifacts of an Integrations project. We are working about 10 people on it, so we are working under the schema: master and replicas.

To give a bit more information about this, we create a master (.EAP) as show the image below.

Each of us has a replica, this replica was created taking as a base the master created before.

So, it works like this: each person can make changes in different parts of the .EAP, then, at the end of the day every one synchronize the replica with the master, and the master gets all the change made by each person. Thus, we make a collaborative and parallel work.

Sometimes when you synchronize the replica using the master, an error comes up on a window showing as follow, and it doesn’t allow you get the changes which were made by other people on the master

To resolve this problem you have to increase the value of the field MaxLocksPerFile (as many time as it appears) in the Registry Editor. By default it comes with the value: 9500 (Decimal), I have put 300000 and now it works fine.
