Get project by label - think I found the problem

[shbinga]

I've been having problems getting projects by label - it wasn't working with v 4.0, I upgraded to 4.1.1 and tried some test labels, which seemed to fix the problem except I still couldn't retrieve old labels.

But I think I found the problem, and it still exists. If a project label is numeric in the form #.#.#, retrieval fails. Other patterns may fail too, I haven't tested others that start with a number.

So I originally labelled my project "2.7.1" - Get history, choose the label, and the status message only shows "Operation Failed". When I created the test label after upgrading, I named it "Test Label - 4.1.1" which worked. So today I labeled the project "2.7.2" and immediately tried to retrieve by label - "Operation Failed". I created another label "Vers 2_7_2" and was able to retrieve it without any problems.

Is this a bug? Can it be fixed, or at the least prevent users from creating labels that won't retrieve?

Thanks,
Steve

I too am seeing incorrect behavior when getting a project by a label that consists of numeric and decimals only. However, I do not get operation failed but instead get the latest version of the file. If I get a single file by label (with the same label) I get the correct version. Also if I get project by label with a label starting with an alpha character then it gets the correct version. My numeric label follows the format "050330.0"

I am using the 4.1 windows client. I just downloaded the 4.1 server from the website today, however the server manager and sosservice.exe are both showing as they are version 4.02.171 created 12/13/2004 so I'm not convinced I have the latest server.

This is a known issue. Evidently when a label is just numbers and decimal points, the automation component treats this as a date. I'll bump it up in priority, but I'm not sure that we'll be able to get it into our 4.1.2 release.

You have the latest version; the 4.0.2 is incorrect. SOS 4.1 was released Dec. 16, so a date of 12/13/2004 is right.
