Vault excepting in GETLABELDIFFS after upgrade to SQL SP4

[timw@newsgator.com]

I have a batch file called since.bat that simply gets the change delta from a given lebel. This has been working great. This morning it is not. You can see the command [and the exception in GetLabelTimeStamps I receive now] below. The only thing that has happened is the IT guy applied SP4 to our SQL instance. Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim

We've had other reports of this error. In one case a user discovered the -rowlimit argument is ignored in the history item query in the GetLabelTimeStamps function... instead it is hard-coded to 10K. So if your labels don't fall in the first 10K items, the label(s) won't be found. He replaced this with a 0, and got the diffs.

Does this work for you?

This is not an argument to the getlabeldiffs command is it? Thanks, Tim

The following command does work for this so exists as a good workaround. Though I'm curious why it broke suddenly.

VAULT HISTORY -host ngbuild1 -user timw -password something -repository ngonline $/ngonline_v1 -beginlabel %1

Thanks,

I'm curious why it broke suddenly

Maybe it hit a default row limit?

Getlabeldiffs does have a rowlimit option:

This is a list of possible options:
-rowlimit limitnumber
Limits the number of rows returned for a history query to
limitnumber

Try setting rowlimit to 0 and see if the labeldiff works then.

Like this?

VAULT GETLABELDIFFS -host ngbuild1 -user timw -password something -rowlimit 1000 -repository ngonline $/ngonline_v1 %1

Command still fails.

Thanks,

Hi Linda,

I tried this with a rowlimit of 0 (I actually read it this time! ) and it still fails. Not sure how Rowlimit is hit but this is in a snapshot branch with only a half dozen labels since the branch and, literall, no changes between when it was working and when it wasn't, except for SP4. My concern was that something to do with dates creeped in.

Not a big deal since the history/beginlabel think is working now but it's a little worrisome because the output looks like something is getting stomped. Look at DateTime&amp in the log, like some kind of url encoding on the request to GetLabelTimeStamps?

Thanks,

Tim
