Hi Paul,

this is the second time, that we have the problem that the extracted binary files seem to be empty. Strange ????

Do you have "Only store latests revision" activated on your VSS files? Could you have a look into the temporary _vss2svn\vssdata directory. The converter stores all retrieved versions into subdirectories of this folder. Could you try to look up a few of them, and see wether they are empty? For example the file \BA\BAAAAAAA.1?

Can you look into the generated dumpfile. Do you actually see some of your file content, or do you only see subversion related organizational information?

When this happens, there is a problem with your database, which not necessarily must be due to a broken database. I could be simply a not yet detected logic error. What you could do to help us solving the issue is, if you could try to follow the life cycle of the problematic file.

What I do regularily in order to find these issues is, that I search for the filenames in the "datachache.PhysicalAction.tmp.txt" file and copy all lines into a new empty file. Then I lookup all lines that have the "physical" name of this file withiin the same file and copy them too. After rearranging by time stamp you start getting an idea of what happend in the curse of events for this file. e.g added, changed, shared, deleted, recovered .... and so on.

If it is not a problem for you, you could also post these extracted lines or send them in a private mail. Then I can have a look at it.

Subversion then began processing the file (or so it seemed) but it stopped with an error when it got to revision 445. ------- Committed revision 445 >>> <<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 446 * deleting path : asset_allocation_product_subreport.cs ...svnadmin: File not found: transaction '445-1', path 'asset_allocation_product_subreport.cs'

Same for this file. Please try to lookup the history of the file. This time, you could use the "datachache.VssAction.tmp.txt" as a source for your lookup, since the converter already did his work.

Dirk
