Problems clearing working folders

kiwirob · Post by **kiwirob** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:41 am

I have moved my vault server and when connecting with the GUI client it reports

The working folder state information for \\screamer\wwwroot$\ArdenStudios is incompatible with this version of Vault. Please choose a different working folder path. The specific compatibility exception was: Timeout opening state file \\screamer\wwwroot$\ArdenStudios\_sgvault\state for read.

This is because the server \\screamer no longer exists, its just keeps displaying this message over and over with a 15sec delay between each. I've sat there for 10mins pressing OK but wasn't getting anywhere.

So I tried using the command line client to unset the working folder but that failed also.

I'm stuck now and can't connect to the vault, how can I clear these working folders? Maybe using sql but I couldn't see any tables holding working folders.

Please help

C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client>vault -host sabreone -user admin -password xxxxx unsetworkingfolder $/ArdenStudios/ArdenStudios -repository Sabretech

Sounds like your cache files/baselines are out of sync. To reset:

Close any open clients on your machine -- Vault GUI, Visual Studio, etc.

Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\yourprofile\Local Settings\Application Data\SourceGear\Vault_1.

Delete the contents of Vault_1. Based on the error message, it looks like your baseline/state files are stored in your working directories. Delete all the _sgvault folders in working directories, or set new working directories and Get Latest to create new baselines.

I forgot to check in there. I deleted the CacheMember_WorkingFolderAssignments for the repository and all is well again in the world.

Thanks
