Vault Get From FinalBuilder very slow.

Post by PeteM » Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:38 pm

Hi,

We have recently perchased Fortress / Vault and imported our VSS DB's after following your very helpful guidelines. We then were having some performance issues in the client and managed to resolve them from the info in these forums. We have also Upgraded Finalbuilder to version 6 and selected Vault 4 client integration. The Get from the Finalbuilder script in taking anything up to an hour to complete. The same get from the client completes in a couple of minutes. We are getting an entire project consisting of :-

130mb of Data
2200 Files and
101 folders.

The final builder command is :-

Running Vault with command line : get -user "Autobuild" -password "******" -host "192.168.1.14" -repository "Maze Current Release" -nonworkingfolder "C:\Autobuild\checkedout\Maze VS2A SP2\CAZ8" -setfiletime "checkin" -verbose -makewritable "$/CAZ8/"

I would say that its probably more to do with finalbuilder than anything else, but if you have any suggestions I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

By using the -nonworkingfolder option, you're instructing the Vault client to get every single file from the server. It's much faster to do a working folder get, which will only update changed files.

Jeremy, thanks for the reply, that was sort of the issue. If the FinalBuilder script issued a Set Working Folder to the same Non Working Folder before the Get, and the get itself did not set the working folder, the performance then matched the client

The Get to non working folders in the scripts are trying to ensure the code is cleanly retrieved from vault as the directories are removed at the start of the build process.

Thanks for your help, its all good now !!!

Pete.
