PDMWorks problem when the clocks went back - anyone else
(OP)
Hiya
We run SW06 SP1.0 and PDMWorks (with the latest server update) and have experienced an issue when the clocks went back earlier this week (I'm in the UK).
When checking in a revision of a part already in the vault all the fields are red and the message
'part "XXXX.prt" already exists in vault but appears to be different from this one, check in anyway?'
appears. Our softare provider is looking into it for us but I'd be interested to see if anyone else has had the same problem?
Thanks,
Simon

RE: PDMWorks problem when the clocks went back - anyone else
From SW:
End of Daylight Savings Time and how it affects PDMWorks In those countries observing Daylight Savings Time during the Summer this typically ends on the last Sunday in October (30th in 2005). For some customers using PDMWorks this can cause issues whereby checking in a document can falsely give the error, 'PDMWorks Warning A document named xxx.xxxxxx already exists on the vault but appears to be a different document than this one.'
This can quickly be remedied by stopping and starting the PDMWorks service. This has been submitted as a Problem Report to the SolidWorks Development Team: SPR 240268.

I've tried that already but it hasn't solved the problem. Even if you check a file out of the vault and straight back in it still recognises it as a different file - any other ideas?

Your problem is deeper then just Daylight savings time changing mostly likely then.

Bradley, I've just followed your suggestion of validating the vault and it seems to've solved the problem - many thanks!
