Hi Roger, I had a similar problem a long while back. What seemed to be happening was that Draco would consistently think there were no new changes. After some major investigation, and a lot of questions Mark, it turned out there was still a privileges issue. You can confirm this Roger by doing the following. Ok before you confirm this, do the following:
1. Find the full path to SS.EXE and put it into the environment path. 2. Open a DOS window 3. Type SS.EXE to confirm it works Continue if 3 works or go to 1 4. type: set SSDIR = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\databases\" 5. ss.exe HISTORY "$/Projects/Spend On Life/SpendOnLifeSolution" -R -I-N -Y"roger,xxxxx" What this will do is print out a list of modifications to the SpendOnLifeSolution project. The thing you are looking for is simply confirmation that everything is working - if it is you will see a bunch of lines like the following: ***************** Version 7 ***************** Label: "Gloria II Build 1.0" User: X188828 Date: 25/03/03 Time: 10:50 Labeled ***** Master.Build ***** Version 2 User: X031224 Date: 24/03/03 Time: 11:36 Checked in $/GLORIA/Source/Production Comment: ***************** Version 6 ***************** User: X031224 Date: 24/03/03 Time: 8:32 $Bin destroyed ***************** Version 5 ***************** User: Nakhtar Date: 21/03/03 Time: 16:06 $Syngenta added ***************** Version 4 ***************** User: Nakhtar Date: 21/03/03 Time: 16:06 $NAnt Scripts added ***************** Version 3 ***************** User: Nakhtar Date: 21/03/03 Time: 16:06 Master.Build added ***************** Version 2 ***************** User: Nakhtar Date: 21/03/03 Time: 16:06 $Bin added ***************** Version 1 ***************** User: Nakhtar Date: 21/03/03 Time: 16:06 Created Comment: New Build Environment. Right. Now that you have done that, you now need to verify the date being used works - it should but it doesnt hurt to double check. Type the following: >SS.EXE HISTORY "$/Projects/Spend On Life/SpendOnLifeSolution" -R -I-N -Y"roger,xxxxx" -Vd"7/24/2003;6:56 PM~7/24/2003;6:20 PM" The -V switch creates a date range, which is what keeps the modifications list down to recent changes. What yo are looking to verify here is that you do in fact get a list of modifications appear. If you do, then everything is working on that front. The only other issue related to this aspect that could now be failing (based on my experience only!), is that when the tmp file is created from within the Draco service, privileges mean nothing can be written to it (I think it simply fails to create the file from the service). A good test for this is to give Draco the admin user account in the Services properties of Draco.NET. Restart and see if you get anything. One last thing, which I should have mentioned at the top is - what is the interval of your polling period - the log you presented seems short. Let us know how this goes, Nick.
