Synchronized Working Folder.

Post by srana » Tue May 10, 2005 5:40 am

Hi

Vault many times gets confused if file date and time are changed and files are edited outside vault. Like many times in emergency, vault server got disconnected due to LAN failure. Changes were imp and to be done immediately. They were modified in disconnected mode. Now VS.2003 is confused so as the vault client.

Can vault client have the option to refresh data again from the working folder and checkin again, even if we have not checkout.

Regards

SR

The Vault standalone client will do this (and you can set an option to not require checkouts before checkin, and it will automatically put files in the pending change set that have changed). You can use this client when Visual Studio gets confused about the state of the files.

Visual Studio 2003 is supposed to have a feature where it keeps track of files that have been changed when you are "off-line", and then when you re-connect, it will automatically checkout the files (because of the way VS works, it requires that files be checked out before they are checked in). However, if that doesn't work, it would be a Visual Studio issue rather than a Vault issue.
