[[Announcement] PlasticSCM Dynamic Workspace Alpha.]

Very good news!

How can we use Dynamic Workspace with TeamCity? I think this will give a huge boost to the build pipeline

[TeamCity Plastic Branch Filtering by multiple attributes]

Hello,

I've integrated TeamCity with PlasticSCM, and everything works just fine,

Here is few details about my environment:

I do Branch per Task
I use same branch for both platforms Android and iOS
I have two TeamCity -> Build Configuration , one for Android and one for iOS

Some branch affects only one of the platforms and I want the build to start on the relevant platform, what I am thinking of is adding another attribute for platform, so it will be:

status=resolved
platform=ios

in that case I want TeamCity to start building the iOS version only, I think the best way is if I can add two attributes to the "Enable plastic branch filtering" option, but I could not find a way to do that

[Cannot Download latest version 10.0.16.5574]

I really need the support for TeamCity plugin: Versioned settings which is available in the latest version released 3 days ago,

 

But when I try to download it I get a 404 error

 

 

Please note that this happened in previous versions

I wish there is an option to completely disable hints, I work with Plastic for 6 years now, I read almost every release note, I don't want any hints while I am working,

PLEASE add Global Disable Hints options.
Thank you

[How to Reduce Jet database size]

Thank you for your quick reply,

So at the moment this feature is not useful reduce the actual size of the Jet databases (it could be helpful with MySQL databases, for instance).

I suggest to update the documentation to reflect this point, it will helpful for other users who have the same issue and trying to find a way to reduce the size

22 minutes ago, calbzam said:

- We internally did't run test with symlinks for the Jet databases.I would avoid it if possible. Even with that, I just run a fast test using a Windows junction for the Jet database and it seems to properly work.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

I will add my voice to the feature request in that case and hope it'll become available soon.

[How to Reduce Jet database size]

Hello Carlos,

In that case what is the use of 'archive' command and what about Symlink and other suggestion in my post like specify path per repository?

Thanks

[How to Reduce Jet database size]

Hello,

I wounder if there is any way to reduce or compact the size of Jet database, we are using PlasticSCM for 5+ years now, and it is really great, but we are facing the issue with big database size.

I was trying to workaround this issue using either: archive command or distributing database files on more than one hard drive

1- Archive command

I read about the 'archive' command as the documentation says it is used to reduce the size of the database, so correct me if I am wrong what is the use of 'archive' command?

Here is the documentation about archiving

Quote

Why archiving revisions

In a production environment where there are third party compiled tools or programs, binaries, big documents and other kind of big files that rarely change and/or are rarely accessed, it can consume disk space and time when storing those revisions in the database and afterwards retrieving them from the database.

To help minimize the impact mentioned above, you can use the archive command, which allows the administrator to set up a separate disk device, such as a tape, a USB pen drive, an external disk, a CD-ROM, DVD, or a specific disk space area, and store those big revisions there, so that they do not take space in the database. Thus, every time that a user needs to access those revisions, Plastic SCM will search for them in the external storage area, and retrieve that information to the user.

But I could not find any help regarding 'compact' command for Jet database

2- Distributing database on multiple hard drive

Is there any way to specify hard drive per repository?
or maybe specify multiple hard drives then using some rules if the first drive is almost full the database will start using the secondary drive and so on
I also thought about using 'hardlink' (symlink) but I am not sure if that has a side effect on integrity or performance of Jet database

[The given key was not present in the dictionary]

Thank you for the quick reply, I've sent you the required file

[The given key was not present in the dictionary]

Hi,
I am getting the following error when try to sync two servers

both servers using Jet database

2019-08-21 10:44:23,735 User-PC ERROR Operations - OnError catching exception [The given key was not present in the dictionary.] - Plastic server version: 8.0.16.3480
2019-08-21 10:44:23,736  ERROR PlasticProto.ConnectionFromClient - conn    3. Error in ProcessMethodCall for method GetReplicationSyncStatus. There has been an unexpected error "The given key was not present in the dictionary.". For more information check the server log.

the issue started when I was trying to checkin my changes in new branch then my PC freezes and I had to restart, after that the newly created changeset was gone and I started to face this issue

Now I can create branches and changeset, but I will not be able to sync the servers

I opened rep_4/branches/names.dat and found the branch's name which cause the issue, but I cannot find this branch in Branches tab or in Branch Explorer tab.

 

Is there any thing I can do to solve this issue?
