soscmd getProject command fails

[Chris Rowland]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the soscmd Getproject command to work and I'm getting Error 400 Operation failed.

the command line is:
C:\Program Files\SourceGear\SOS4_2\soscmd.exe -soshome "C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS" -command GetProject -server SOSserver:8080 -name user -password "password" -alias "Issue18x" -project "$\i4dev\Test\testproj" -workdir "C:\Inca18x\i4dev\Test\testproj"

It's version 4.2 of soscmd, AIUI that's the latest one.

The server log shows:

If I use the SoS client version 5.0.3 then I see that one file status is marked Renegade.
I clear this and try the command line again and it fails in the same way and after that the file is again marked Renegade in the SoS client. The file is a text file but is empty.

In SoS Client Checkout reports that the filewhich may have been modified and it attempts to merge, I let it and do an undo checkout, this also shows the Modified File dialog, I let it overwrite.

Do you have any suggestions about how to resolve this? It's one of a number of problems that's preventing me convert a source management system from VSS to SoS but I get the impression that they all have a similar root cause.

If I can get this going I'll have a stronger case to upgrade SoS...

Thanks,

Chris

Can you do the same get with the SOS GUI Client?

Can you do the get to a non-working folder, not using -SOShome?

Note: I've edited out some of the sensitive command info, since you may not want them on a public forum.

[Chris Rowland]

Thanks Linda,

If I don't set the soshome parameter GetProject works, so do most other commands.

GetProject Tree takes a very long time then fails, but if I add the soshome parameter it works.

Most of my other problems seem to be caused by my confusion.
Thanks again,

Chris

Thanks for the info, though I'm not clear on whether you are still getting the 400 error when running your script.

The command:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\SourceGear\SOS4_2\soscmd.exe -soshome "C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS" -command GetProject -server cnshfws3003:8080 -name crowland -password "" -database "\\ukoiak3s02\data\Masters\Software\Issue18xIncaVSS\srcsafe.ini" -project "$\i4dev\Test\testproj" -workdir "C:\Inca18x\i4dev\Test\testproj"

gives error 400, but the command:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\SourceGear\SOS4_2\soscmd.exe -command GetProject -server cnshfws3003:8080 -name crowland -password "" -database "\\ukoiak3s02\data\Masters\Software\Issue18xIncaVSS\srcsafe.ini" -project "$\i4dev\Test\testproj" -workdir "C:\Inca18x\i4dev\Test\testproj"

gives error 0 and appears to be working.
It looks as if specifying the -soshome folder makes the difference.

Is this the correct soshome path? From what I can see I've got sos databases in
C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS
and in
C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Local Settings\Application Data\SourceGear\SourceOffSite

My guess is that the first is for SoS 4.x and the second for 5.x.
I am using soscmd 4.2 version because there isn't a 5.x soscmd.

C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Local Settings\Application Data\SourceGear\SourceOffSite

Yes, this is the cache (SOSHome) location for the SOS 5 client.

If you're using the SOS 4 client/command line client, the cache is

C:\Documents and Settings\crowland\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS

[Chris Rowland]

I'm using SoS client 5 BUT soscmd.exe is 4.2 - because that's the latest soscmd there is.

Should soscmd V4.2 use the V5 soshome or the V4 soshome? The data format is totally different.

Chris

[lbauer]

Sorry for the confusion. Use the SOS 4 client's -soshome. As you pointed out, there is no 5.0 Command Line Client, but the 4.2 Command Line Client can connect to the SOS 5.x server.
