Error during Label import

kasti · Post by **kasti** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:21 am

During import, I get the following error:

The label $/xxx could not be imported correctly. The server returned: You do not have permission to perform the operation.

In the server log at the same time, this message occurs:

An error occurred during the deletion of ge1ilf55110rjqrqdy0z4k55. Please check that the session was removed from the database.\tTransaction (Process ID 53) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

All the files + histories have afterwards been imported successfully, only the labels are missing.

I have also followed the "Tips for a Successful VSS Import" and have changed all timeouts, installed vss 6.0c+servicepack etc.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Could you look at your import log, which is located in c:\program files\sourcegear\SourceSafe Import Tool? It may give us a clue.

Well, here is the relevant section of the import log:

I can properly import certain subfolders of this project (incl. labels) so I am thinking it might have to do something with deleted (not destroyed) subfolders. I will investigate further and let you know.

Thanks for now.

Hello. I'm getting the same error that kasti got, for every single label in my import. Has any light been shed on the issue?

This is caused by a bug in Vault 2.0.3. We hope to have the bug fixed in version 2.0.4, which will be released soon. As a workaround, you can give all of your imported uesrs default permissions of Read, which should allow your next import attempt to successfully import labels.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I've tried your workaround, and got the same errors.

I created a new repository for this attempt. The imported users all existed already from the previous attempted import, and Vault does not allow me to delete them, so I could not re-import them, but I set all their default permissions to Read only before the import. Is that sufficient?

I also got many new new errors in the following form:
Item $/OFX/1.0/User/Adam caused the transaction to fail: An item with the same name or object id already exists in the selected folder.
Transaction failed"

Should I be trying with a fresh installation of Vault?

Thanks.

You will need to delete the existing imported items. Once you do that, rerun the import.

Thanks. Deleting the repositories used for the previous attempts took care of the same name/objectid errors.

Does this mean that I cannot re-import the same item twice into two different repositories? (I had been hoping to clean up some of the project relationships in the process of separating them into multiple repositories, but that requires importing some items more than once.)

I have not yet succeeded in importing labels; I am now getting errors that say "Error getting label from VSS. Invalid OLEVERB structure." I imagine this is because my VSS DB is not perfectly healthy and the Analyze and Fix utility fails to fix it. However, we have decided that we can live without the labels from VSS, and are proceeding with a label-less import.

It is likely that corruption in the database is causing the OLEVERB error. Can you fetch these labels using the VSS Explorer?

OldMan · Post by **OldMan** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 9:43 am

For at least some of these labels, we cannot fetch them using VSS--the operation seems to work but the desitnation directory is empty. We label every build, so there are hundreds of labels; I haven't tried all of them.
