Error when checking in SCC file

[B5J20]

Error 7 occured at Invoke Node in Version Control CIN.vi -> SCC Enter Change Comments.vi -> Builtin SCC Checkin.vi -> Builtin SCC Checkin GUI.vi -> Check IN.vi

I only get this error on some of the VIs, the ones that involve niDMM and niFGEN.  Could these 2 hardware pieces be causing me a problem?

I used the built-in SCC for a project that I worked on that had about 20-30 vi's.  I had numerous problems when trying to check-in or check-out vi's.  I finally called tech-support and was told that the built in SCC is not intended for anything that large.  I changed to using MS Source Safe as the SCC and have had pretty smooth sailing ever since.  They recommend only using the built-in for "small" projects.  Dont know if this will apply to your case, but thought you may find it interesting.

Gold,

That would help explain that, ill have to try MS Safe Source and see how that works.

Thx for the reply.

Hi B5J20,

This issue has been seen before and doesn't have to do with the number of VIs used (30 VIs is considered "a few VIs"), but instead it's caused by an issue with the accessing the revision history of the VI while it's in memory. The easiest workaround is to reset the revision history of the VI you are trying to check in by following Kileen's simple procedure from this other thread.

I hope that this saves you some time from installing new software.

Good luck!
