VCRM crash during catalog validation

[TechGuru]

Hi all,

Even I have faced this issue recently,

Create a 0kb file using Notepad [e.g. open Notepad, click on Menu â Fileâ -> â save asâ and Give the file name as â hpdiags-7.5.0-14.linux.i386.rpmâ ],

This will make VCRM not to download files again during auto update.

are you using VCRM 6.1.0.841?

if not, download & use it from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-b6e6bd09cc5a4432a242abb85d〈=en&cc=us&idx=3&mode=4&

Yes. My HP Version Control Repository Manager version is 6.1.0.841

Problem might be due to some invalid component.

1) Stop VCRM service.
2) Open the repository folder using explorer
3) Move the components (*.exe, *.tar.gz, *.rpm, *.scexe) not having associated "*.mnf" files out of repository folder & into some test folder.
4) Start VCRM

If VCRM crash is prevented after above steps, provide the list of file names from test folder.

I still have the same problem. During the last weeks I installed several VCRM and filled them with data from other repositories or from the internet. Every repository had the same problem. Deleting not associated files costs a lot of time but didn't worked for me.
I installed another yesterday on a physical server which still has support. I will open a case as soon as the problem shows there.

Hi folks,

I got a answer from second-level support this morning:
"I have checked with the next level and have been updated that this issue is a bug in the 6.x version of VCRM and is scheduled to be fixed in the next release of VCRM which is scheduled to be released by the end of January 2011."

I got a VCRM working using process monitor from sysinternals. After VCRM crashes I take a look at the log and overwrite the last examined file. I found at least three components which led to a crash. Lovely method to spend an entire work day ;-)
