Tool Suggestion: Ignore Specific Type of Error...

Sean Malloy · Post by **Sean Malloy** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 12:26 am

On an import, there are heaps of errors like so:

**Failed** to Get version X of $/<file> to upload.

The thing is, that these errors are actually ok. The failure is actually correct, because the file is set to "Keep Only Latest" in SourceSafe.

Is there a way that the Vault Import tool could ignore this type of error, or skip over trying to get/import old versions of the file, if the "Keep Only Latest" flag is set?

Unless ofcourse the VSS API doesn't provide that information?

You're right. There's no way in Vault to know that VSS doesn't have that version. We only know that the import couldn't get the version from VSS.

Damn, I bet you curse that API

We just made sure that our API was better.
