Keyword Expansion

[Toshan]

Hi,

I am in the process of evaluating Valut as a replacement of VSS.

I cannot ger keyword expansion to work. I have enabled it in admin web client.

When I check in a file that was previously checkin in VSS, it resets $revision : $ number back to 1 but does not increment it on sybsequent check-ins.

Also is there a way to import existing vss files and history.

Please help

Regards

Toshan

You can import the latest version of files in your VSS database with our Handoff feature. A connection is maintained with VSS so that you can see VSS history:

You can also import your entire VSS database with history, though this can take a long time:

Regarding the keyword expansion problem -- what type of file are you trying to expand?

[Toshan]

It is a text file with .paSQL extension. Below is the example

script "IPOSProcs", "580, $Revision: 1 $", "iPOS Procedures"

I want the number after $Revision: to be incremented.

Thanks

A file needs to be considered mergeable (not binary) for keywords to be expanded.

Add the file extension to the list of mergeable files for that repository.

This setting is in the Admin Web Client under Source Control Repositories->(Repository name)->File types.

Let me know if this does not resolve the problem.

I alread have specified it. Do I need to specify anything under Star of history line and end of history line?

Would you post a screen shot of the Keyword Expansion configuration page in the Vault Admin Web Client. This setting is in the Admin Web Client under Source Control Repositories->(Repository name)->Keyword Expansion.

I have got it working. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the update. That's good news. : )

I just got it working myself -- I had to restart IIS for the settings to "take."

Let me know if we can be of assistance in the future.
