Shadow Folder Doesn't Handle Renamed Folders Reliably

Post by tbreyman » Tue Aug 24, 2004 3:54 pm

I encountered another problem with our Vault deployment...

We renamed a folder using the Vault Client and committed the changes. The Shadow Folder appeared to work by copying the old folder to the new name. However, the original folder was never deleted from the Shadow Folder directory.

Vault 2.0.5
Windows XP Professional Client
Windows 2003 Server

Todd:

On a change with a rename, shadow folders will receive a delta to delete the old folder name, and an add for the new folder's name.

When a delete delta item is encountered, the Shadow Folder Service will recursively try to delete that folder. However, if an error is encountered, the delete is skipped.

Is it possible a process had a file in the deleted folder locked? If an error is encountered deleting the file / folder, Shadow Folder will log an error in VaultShadowFolderService.txt in the ASP.Net Process accounts local temp directory.
