[VO2740b] - Repo problem !!

Hi folks,

Ok, this is my first major problem with the repo. I guess I was lucky all
these years

I've got an application that I want removed from a project but I can't
delete it because of a repo issue.

When I try to delete the application, VO asks if i'm sure, I reply Yes and
then nothing happens.
If I try to delete the one and only module in the app, VO says "Delete
Module Failed". There are no entities in the module.

Off course I tried reindexing, but no go.

The corresponding VOA file in the projects folder is almost 3megs in size,
but there's no code in this app !! Removing the VOA and IDX files from the
project folder doesn't help since I can still see the app in the tree, with
no modules, and VO won't let me delete it.

So how can I remove that application from the project _without_ having to
kill the project and reimport everything ? This is a BIG project so I want
to stay away from this scenario as much as possible.

Thanks !

Steph,

i take it you have backups of your aefs? Then really the simplest way
out is, make a new project, import all (with VoPP a no brainer) and
throw the old project to hell...

Yes it's just some minutes of work even without VoPP

Esport all
delete from the exported aefs the application
makes a new project
import all ( you will have some anoying messages saying that there is not
some lib reference: ignore all)
import all again (you will have some boring messages asking you if you want
to replace, overwrite etc)
the jobs is done

P.S. Check everything is ok before deleteing the old project. Once it
happened to me that i did had to make 5 new project before everything was ok

Thanks

Karl,

Yeah I have backups. Bit the bullet and took the long way home. All is
fine now.

Thanks

Hello Steph,

Might be a good idea to just backup the whole project directory from
time to time. Should it happen again, you could save time by replacing
the directory from your backup and just import the changed AEF's from
a VOPP backup
