Is my import locked up?

JackTripper · Post by **JackTripper** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 5:05 pm

My SourceSafe import is about 75% complete, but has been stuck on "Importing Label" for about a day now.

i was warned the import might be slow, so i don't want to kill it and lose 4 days of importing work.

The software itself still responds (if i hit tab, focus switches between the disabled "Finish" and "Cancel" buttons)

The status also says "Downloading label from VSS."

24 hours is an awefully long time to be "Downloading a label"

Should i kill it and try again?

Is it still using CPU? Does your import log file have anything to say of interest? It's located in c:\program files\sourcegear\sourcesafe import tool

Are you running VSS 6.0c? There have been some lockup problems with 6.0d.

There is no CPU usage on the machine.

The last line in the log files says:

7/4/04 5:04:39 PM Importing Label: $/Meloche/Work Order (Workorder v1.3.11.88)

Which is the label it has been stuck on for almost two days.

SourceSafe Administrator on the server says "Version 6.0 (Build 8163)"
SourceSafe Client on the server says "Version 6.0 (Build 8163)"

i'm guessing that's not the same as "Version 6.0c"?

Where does one download the non-latest service pack of VSS?

Is the hoxfix the same as "Version 6.0c" ?

Is the hotfix applied to v6 going to be the same as V6c?

Is the hotfix applied to v6c redundant?

Is the hoxfix applied to v6c the same as v6c+hotfix?

Is Version6.0+hotfix acceptable for the import?

The recommended configuration is to use version 6.0c PLUS the hotfix.

Version 6.0c is not the same as the hotfix.

When you apply the hotfix to a version 6.0c, your SourceSafe installation no longer corresponds exactly to a specific version number. It is not 6.0c. It is not 6.0d. It is simply 6.0c plus a hotfix.

It finished.

Six days after i started the import, the import is finished. It actually came back from being stuck on a label import for 2½ days.

Holy christ that's a lot of "OLEVERB structure" errors.

555 errors.
