limbicnation Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hello. I'm new to Plastic SCM GUI. My question is: Where are the files located on the hard drive (Windows) that Plastic SCM records of the working project in Unity. I noticed that Plastic SCM takes up a lot of disk space when checking in. Now, my projects are also quite big. I'm also not using the cloud repository. Thank you.

manu Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hello @limbicnation, you will find two types of files. 1) Server side files The repositories files, the databases, you might find SQLite (*.sqlite) or Jet database files. Those files contains your project history. And I assume they are fairly big, they grow as you tun checkin operations using your local server. 2) Client side files The ones inside the .plastic hiddent directory, one per workspace. Those files shouldn't be big, a few MB or so. 3 hours ago, limbicnation said: also not using the cloud repository. If you are not using the Cloud repositories then your local copy is the only one, master. Keep it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limbicnation Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hello Manu, I have a quick question regarding the Plastic Gluon client. Is there a way to speed up the checkin process? It's stuck in the “finding changes in the workspace” At this point I cannot submit anything. Please view attached image. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yes, let's try to find out what's happening: are you trying to submit 128K files? I'm wondering if the 30K private items you still have are making the search slow. Can you please enable the "cm.log.conf" file as it's explained here : https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/technical-articles/kb-enabling-logging-for-plastic-scm-part-i.html Open a command line window, change the directory to your wks path and execute "cm status --all".

limbicnation Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi Manu, Thank you for the fast answer. Yes the 30K private items are making the search slow I suppose. However, I would like to use Plastic Gluon as a source control. Unfortunately I cannot execute the command “cm status –all” it says may computer is not in a workspace...

manu Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi! did you change the path to your workpsace path? Something like: "cd c:\your\wks\location" Do you need to have those private items showing up at the pending changes view? If not select them all in the pending changes view and add them to the "ignore.conf" file. Right click -> Add to ignore list -> Using the item name.

limbicnation Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Manu, I don't need all the private items. In case of changing the path in CMD, it gives an error that the syntax is not right: youn mean the path should be like this: "cd G:\01_DREAMART\1_3D\5_Unity\DREAMART " Apologies could you please clarify this for me again. Thank you for taking time looking into this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbicnation Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Now I would also like to change to regular GUI “standard” how would I go about doing that? I have also tried to update my workspace, in order to use the regular GUI, by going into the branch explorer, right click on branch and selecting “change workspace to this changeset” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yes. you will need to run "cd G:\01_DREAMART\1_3D\5_Unity\DREAMART"" if " "G:\01_DREAMART\1_3D\5_Unity\DREAMART" is your wks. Please add the private items to the ignore list as I explained above and check if the pending changes view is faster. In order to convert a gluon wks to a regular one just go to the items view and click update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbicnation Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I still have pending changes. Thus I think I cannot update my workspace. When trying to checkin changes, I still get the same error. Unfortunately hitting update workspace won't do anything. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Check in those changes using gluon, leave the workspace clean of changes and run the update from the regular GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limbicnation Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I've encountered an issue with the client authentication mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi, Your client and server are using a different authentication mode. My recommendation is to switch to User/Password authentication mode. You can re-configure your server running: "configureserver.exe". You can re-configure your client running "plastic --configure".

limbicnation Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hi Manu, Relentlessly I'm trying to check-in changes. Which I'm unable to do. There is more than a 1000 items which do not exist in ws. I would appreciate your help. Adding private items by doing Right click -> Add to ignore list -> Using the item name does not show up for me :[ Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbicnation Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Also I cannot checkin using the Plastic Gluon.It keeps on finding changes endlessly (same issue as in the beginning of the thread). I apologies for my inconvenience, I'm frustrated at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think something is wrong in you workspace. I see you have used Gluon and Plastic for the same workspace, that's not supported I will be able to schedule an online meeting with you in order to review if we can get out of the problem, please tell me when are you available and your timezone.
