Vault gone crazy

Hi,

I have two VB6 projects. Both are sometimes used in a project group but most times alone.
The files of both projects are in different folders. There are no share links defined (at least if I open the folder and file properties).

Now, when I check in project B, Vault deletes all *.??x files (like *.frx or *.pgx) from project A!
The files remain on the harddisk and I can undelete them from the property page of project A's folder.

Though we can't continue to work this way. The deletion process can take quite a long time and the only current solution is not to check in anything..

Thanks,

Marc

What version of Vault are you using?

What is the structure of the project? Are Folder A and Folder B in the same parent project? You said the folders/files are not shared -- Was Folder A or B ever shared or branched?

Are there specific steps that can reproduce the problem?

You might try turning on client-side logging to see what is reported when the deletion is made.

Also, turn on verbose logging in the Vault Server in the Admin Tool->Server Options->Logging and check the server log for the time period of this problem.

Project A and project B are in the same parent folder both in the repository as well as in the working folders. The parent folder doesn't really have a project associated. The projects were never shared or branched but some files may have been shared some time before.

Actually the problem can be described a bit different: When I check in or out one of both projects (from within VB), the same action is applied to both projects although the other project is not even loaded.

The *.??x files are always deleted during check-in of the project, so actually these might even be two different problems!

Which logging classes should I select?

Thanks very much,
