We're wanting to migrate from Visual SourceSafe to git for our source control, but our repository size seems fairly large (51k files, 51 targets), and when we get to a certain size, PowerBuilder seems to fail under the load.

For example, every time I do a pull against my test git repository, with no more than a single change, I get "Failed to execute task." with no other information.

---------- Source Control
Git pull
Git client is pulling workspace. Please wait...
Importing m_genapp_frame.srm . . .
Compiling types for m_genapp_frame.srm . . .
Regenerating m_genapp_frame.srm . . .
Successful get of D:\app\app.pbl(m_genapp_frame.srm)
Failed to execute task.

Attempting to open the file in the sample above will throw up a weird error, but after restarting PowerBuilder, everything is fine.

Is anyone successfully working with larger repositories in git? Is this a workflow thing where I'm missing a step?

Hi Richard,

 

Have you tried doing a "Refresh" of your Git files in PB, then perform the Git pull? You can try it directly from the popup menu from the System tree. Same menu where you perform the Git Pull.

 

 

Regards,

Hi Richard;

  There have been many GIT improvements to Appeon PB since its intial supported release of that SCC. What PB version & build are you using and also, what GIT software & version (and GIT Client) are you using?

Regards ... Chris

Hi Richard,

There is an issue refreshing a large project in the previous release, which is fixed in the coming PowerBuilder 2019 R3. Please try PowerBuilder 2019 R3 Beta release and see if it resolves your issue. 

You can download the beta release following this link: https://account.appeon.com/download

If you still see the issue in the beta release, please report a bug in our support portal: https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug

Hi Richard,

we have the same issue connecting to the git-workspace currently.

In the upcoming Release PB2019R3 there are a lot improvements, faster and more reliable refresh function and you can simply do a clone by TortoiseGit (with a manuel refresh inside the IDE).

 

We are using the following workaround until R3 is released:

1. Clone the repository with TortoiseGit.

2. Set the PB-Registry-Entries manually (Entries may differ slightly and need to be adjusted, especially the S identifier must be adapted) Easiest way is to copy the values of an existing git-workspace

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3375370654-4084797731-1618270472-1207\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\17.0\Workspace\D:$git$WORKSPACENAME$TARGETNAME.pbw\SourceControlVersion2]
"Type"="Git"
"Name"="GITUSERNAME"
"ServerURL"="https://git.xxxxxxxxx.de/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.git"
"LocalPath"="D:\\git\\WORKSPACENAME"
"Author"="AUTHOR NAME"
"email"="MAILADDRESS"
"LogAllActivity"=""
"LogFilePath"=""
"AppenOverWrite"=""
"Comments"=""
"RefreshRate"=""

 

Maybe this will help you in the meantime.

 

Regards Tobi

I always thought the recommended GIT approach was 1 target per workspace and creating separate repositories, not have 1 repository for all targets?
