Editing the working directory

Open the working directory in the file manager via the ribbon in the Home tab, or via the right mouse button (option Show in file manager) or via the key combination Ctrl+E.

You can configure which file manager is used by default in the Client Settings dialog.

If you want to see the size or packed size of your project before checking out, proceed as follows:

  1. Right-click the line containing the entries Version, Tags, etc. in the Change history tab.
  2. From the dropdown list, select Size or Compressed size.
  3. The size of all projects will now be displayed in the dialog Change history in the preselection.

How can I calculate the packed size or the size of the components afterwards?

 

Before proceeding with this solution, create a backup of the entire server archive. This is because the application changes nearly every file in the server archive.

The necessary application VDogArchiveCheck is included in the server installation folder.

Requirements

  • When using a single server: The server needs to be in Maintenance mode.
  • In parallel server operation and server synchronisation: All servers need to be in Maintenance mode. In the case of parallel servers and during server synchronisation, you will need to execute the tool on every server and wait for its completion. To avoid downtime, it is advisable that you execute the application on all servers at the same time.

Execution

versiondog can continue to run.

Depending on the size of the archive, the time needed to execute the tool can take longer.

  1. The VDogArchiveCheck tool is located in the server installation directory. By default, this can be found under C:\Program Files(x86)\vdogServer.
  2. Start the tool VDogArchiveCheck via the command line:
    VDogArchiveCheck.exe /RD: <vdServerArchive> /AT: S /ConvertZips /Account: user /Password: {Password} [/Domain: {Domain}]
  3. If no error messages are being displayed, the application has now been successfully implemented.
  4. Maintenance mode will be deactivated. For further information, please contact support.
