Using DDUPD to Take Advantage of Performance Enhancements and Label Promotion

See Also

To take advantage of Performance Enhancements in VSS 6.0 and Label Promotion, upgrade your database by running the DDUPD.exe command-line utility. DDUPD.exe resides in the \Win32 folder of your VSS server installation.  DDUPD can also be used to undo an upgrade.

Note   Ask VSS users to quit VSS before you run DDUPD.

To run DDUPD.exe:

1. Go to the \Win32 folder of your VSS server installation in a command prompt window.
   
   
2. Type the following:

   DDUPD <path to data directory> [-undo] [-redo]
   

To upgrade a database, for example, type:

   DDUPD \\server\share\vss\data

To undo an upgrade (stop taking advantage of the performance enhancements and label promotion), type:

   DDUPD \\server\share\vss\data -UNDO

If you experience problems where projects containing subprojects don't appear in the list with the correct expansion glyph ([+] or [-]), or if you have problems with label gets, you may need to run DDUPD again to correct the display, or:

   DDUPD \\server\share\vss\data -REDO
