RE: VSSGET and labeling...
(Just seen late posting but may help others if not already solved)
I have also experienced hours of pain using VSS and getting [Version not
found] when getting individual labels. The problem is a 100% bug with VSS.
However Microsoft kindly wrote a small .exe for me which will recursively
get files with specific labels - yes I was also shocked. This works every
time. I use the following target to call it from Ant:
target name=fetch_labelled_VSSfiles
exec executable=d:\SSGet.exe
arg line=SSget -p'${vss_path}' -r -uuser,password -l${vss_label}
\\builddv1\PolVSS /
/exec
/target
The combined source code and .exe zipped are 60kb. I will post as an
attachment to the list if requested..

hello all
i'm attempting to get my ant script to check out
labeled files from VSS and i'm having a couple of
problems. :) if i label individual files in my
project '2.0' and then try to get '2.0' from VSS i get
the following error:
extract_label:
[echo] Extracting Label: 2.0 from VSS...
[vssget] Set D:\Development\Build\Marketing as the
default folder for project
$/MKTG?(Y/N)N
[vssget] Version not found
BUILD FAILED

org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.vss.MSVSSGET.execute(MSVSSGET.
java:185)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform
but if i label the project root '2.0' and thus label
each file(the latest version of the file) in the
project '2.0', my ant script works fine. however, i
don't want the latest version of each file to be
labeled '2.0'. we have added files, made changes,
etc. and want to release things that work(no runtime
errors) from a couple of days ago. the VSS help is
pretty sparse on checking out labeled files from the
command line and how to label them.
attached is the ant script we're attempting to use.
thanks for any help.

Hi Andrew, Can you post up your ant target that you're using to get your source by label. We've been using VSS with labelling from ant without any problem. Perhaps if I saw your target definition it might shed some light on things. thanks, Paul -Original Message- From: Andrew Close [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 20:22 To: Ant Users List Subject: VSSGET and labeling... hello all i'm attempting to get my ant script to check out labeled files from VSS and i'm having a couple of problems. :) if i label individual files in my project '2.0' and then try to get '2.0' from VSS i get the following error: extract_label: [echo] Extracting Label: 2.0 from VSS...

RE: VSSGET and labeling...
This is more of a VSS question than an ant question. Nevertheless, which version of VSS are you using? The problem is that if you create two labels separately, even if they have the same name, they won't be the same label item. Your best bet is to use a previous build and alter the files you've updated to use this older build label. Note that you can only do this in VSS 6.0, not in 5.0 or earlier. -Original Message- From: Andrew Close [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 3:22 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: VSSGET and labeling... hello all i'm attempting to get my ant script to check out labeled files from VSS and i'm having a couple of problems. :) if i label individual files in my project '2.0' and then try to get '2.0' from VSS i get the following error: extract_label: [echo] Extracting Label: 2.0 from VSS...

RE: VSSGET and labeling...
thank you for the reply john. Nevertheless, which version of VSS are you using? VSS 6.0 The problem is that if you create two labels separately, even if they have the same name, they won't be the same label item. so if i go into each file and individually label them '2.0' i won't be able to get '2.0' because they really aren't all labelled the same? i have to do my labelling at the project level? what if you want to limit the files that are released in this particular build? maybe we need to come up with a new labelling standard... Your best bet is to use a previous build and alter the files you've updated to use this older build label. Note that you can only do this in VSS 6.0, not in 5.0 or earlier. so i should label all my files '1.0' since that worked? i don't quite follow you. or are you saying i should manually create my build? andy __ Do You Yahoo!?
