History Explorer not displaying all old versions of a file

[allanh]

Hi There,

my History Explorer is not displaying all old versions with some files. For instance, If I am on file revision 6, the history may show them all or it may show just the last two or it may not show any at all. I don't know of anything that would help me predict what files this will happen to and which it won't.

Comparing previous versions of a file is a very important part of our business and without that we cannot function.

currently on Vault Standard client version 6.1.0.531. We have upgraded from MS VSS to SOS to Vault 3 then to 5 then 6. This didn't used to be a problem. I think I first noticed it on version 6 but it could have gone unnoticed before.

thoughts?

Are the files you are missing history from part of your VSS import you initially performed, or are they files that were newly added to Vault?

I am missing history of files much newer than the old MS VSS and SOS days. I have a file that is on version 48 and has history all the way back to version 1 in 2005 which would have been SOS probably. So that shows me that some older files are fine.

but I have a file that didn't exist until probably Vault 3 perhaps 2007ish. it is on version 6, but I only see version 5 and 6 in the vault history. both of those versions are from 2013, while the original was created long ago. if there a sql table I can open to look at the version history?

I think a closer look is needed here. Could you send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread?
