Accurev workspace creation issue - workspace

I have deleted the workspace from accurev. Now when I am again creating the workspace. It's giving error that workspace already exists. How can I resolve this?
update: Is there any accurev plugin through which i can directly promote the code to accurev strean using IBM RSA.

Workspaces and streams are never really removed due to the time-safe architecture; they are deactivated and can later be reactivated. This also means that a workspace or stream owns every name it's ever had. You will need to create the new workspace with a new, unique name.

Via the command line, "accurev reactivate wspace workspaceName"

Terraform / atlantis creates locks for no apparent reason

I have set up atlantis and configured multiple projects.
I am not using workspaces (therefore, for each project only the default workspace should be applicable).
However, when creating a GitHub Pull Request that includes changes to multiple projects, I get the following error(s)
dir: terragrunt/path1/to/something workspace: default
The default workspace is currently locked by another command that is running for this pull request.
Wait until the previous command is complete and try again.
dir: terragrunt/path1/to/anotherthing workspace: default
dir: terragrunt/path2/to/anotherthing workspace: default
The default workspace is currently locked by another command that is running for this pull request.
Wait until the previous command is complete and try again.
This is despite the fact that docs state:
Only the directory in the repo and Terraform workspace are locked, not the whole repo.
Any idea why is this happening?
I saw something similar after setting
parallel_plan: true
parallel_apply: true
in my atlantis.yaml.
Removing these fixed the issue for me, and I assume setting them to false would achieve the same thing.
I am not 100% clear WHY this is happening yet, but it appears to have something to do with the way Atlantis locks and terraform workspaces interact, as the default workspace is called default and it appears that Atlantis locks, might be related to the workspace name.
It looks like you have already reported the issue here and that the maintainers responded that there is a merged but currently (2022-04-29) unreleased fix.
Hope this helps others who happen to stumble upon this...

Configuration Version is missing Terraform Cloud

I set up a workspace and I am following the Enforce Policy with Sentinel hands on guide.
I see the following message in the run tab:
As soon as I try to press the queue plan button I receive this error:
My configured variables are:
Is there something else I need to configure to be able to queue a plan?
Executing from the cli I was able to trigger a run (in TF Cloud) that only included the plan step. The run execution can be viewed if I access the specific run url directly.
Any help, suggestions are more than welcome!
I guess you've already resolved this issue, but I post my resolution anyway.
When this issue occurred, I had wrong workspace's name settings.
There were two workspaces with similar names, and I don't know why this happened. Then I deleted one of them.
On the other one occurred this issue.
In the end, when I deleted the workspace and recreated it, I didn't have the issue occurring anymore.
In my case I didn't have duplicate / similar names workspaces (only one workspace). I found that after running terraform apply locally once first, the UI controls started to work as expected.

P4V how to recover a deleted workspace

The title may be misleading but I need to know more terms and more about P4V to properly summarize the question. That's also why I cannot get the answer by google.
I delete a workspace by mistake. Choose view->workspaces, and then the right pane list the workspaces I have. I delete one. And that's the one I have on another machine.
Files stay on the disk of that machine. But P4V do not show this workspace anymore. I plan to open a new connection, create a new workspace and set the same location. But I'm afraid that the sync operation will override the folder. That's not what I want. Because except from the source codes I get from depot, I have built the code. If overriden, a lot of build work has to be redone.
So, how to recover my workspace in perforce?
The situation is very similar to the one described in this KB article: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/2446
After you have re-created the workspace, do not sync. As you say, it will overwrite your files (at least the read-only ones), and you don't want that.
Instead, open a command prompt and run:
p4 sync -k ...
p4 clean ...
The "p4 sync -k" tells the server to do a sync but keep what you have in your workspace instead of overwriting it. The "p4 clean" tells the server to verify what's in your workspace against what you just told it you have, and refresh any files that are different.
Do you happen to have a spec depot? Just view the client (you might have to "Show deleted depot files" if you don't already have that set up. If not, try to create a new one with the same settings (I'm hoping they were easy to remember). Do not sync the new workspace. Instead, do "p4 flush", details at p4 command info . This will make the server think you've synced to latest, but won't touch what you have on the workstation.

create workspace into perforce server

I am trying to create workspace into perforce so it will be available to other person who would like to add or submit file. I was following link which suggest to create new workspace
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4v-gs/01_p4v-gs.html#1060773
I got one question, why perforce is looking into my local directory which can be deleted at any time.
The local directory that you mention is the root of the workspace. That's how Perforce knows where to put files when you tell it to get files from it.
You have a couple of options. One is to create a workspace and put /dev/null (or some other non-existent directory) and ask the eventual owner to change it before using the workspace. They should also change ownership to themselves. It is important that you don't "lock" the workspace when you create it, otherwise they won't be able to modify it, take ownership, or even use it.
Another option would be for you to create a workspace (for yourself), and then ask the other user to create a workspace, using yours as a template. The command line way is p4 client -t . Doing this via P4V, you would ask the user to find your workspace from the workspaces view, right click, and then from the contextual menu choose "Create/update Client using Clientname as Template..." (the wording might be slightly different, I don't have P4V open right now).
I recommend you go with option two. Doing so will automatically set ownership to the correct user, and the user will also be prompted to choose a local directory for the workspace root.

share a workspace on Accurev

I am new to Accurev. I am working on a workspace and I see a problem which I need help from a team member to look at the issue. what is the easiest way to let the other team member to access my files in my workspace through Accurev?
Using Subversion, anyone could checkout my branch and see my changes, build the code and reproduce the issue., But with Accurev I am not sure how to do the same.
Reading the Accurev documents, it looks like a workspace acts as a stream but cannot be shared between developers.
It's been a few months since I've used Accurev, but if I recall correctly, your team members can browse your workspace. If you're browsing your available streams using the GUI tool, there should be a setting at the bottom to show workspaces from all users. This will allow them to at least browse your workspace. If you want other developers to be able to change these files, you'll have to push them up into a stream. If necessary, you can always create a new stream and re-parent your workspace.
If you have kept any files in your workspace, another user can look at the "Version Browser" of that element in their workspace and see your kept version and look at your changes.
Or, you could create a new stream, reparent your workspace to this stream and promote your changes into the stream.
