<QUOTE>
My latest attempt to deploy has met with this break.  Any clues as to what might be causing it?



This routine's (partial) lineage is:



REPOS.DOSGEN..CHECKOUT

REPOS.DLL..CHECKOUT

REPOSITORY

RDKEXTRACTENTITIES

RDKEXTRACT

RDK_GASGAUGE

<QUOTE>Alex,



Do you have entities that are checked out?



If so you can check them back in by using the REPOSITORY function.

<QUOTE>Alex,



I would like to track down this bug, but I need your help.  Can you:



1)  Download this copy of [url=ftp://dev.revelation.com/checkout.obj]$REPOS.DOSGEN..CHECKOUT[/url] (built with line-marks) into your OpenInsight directory as the file "checkout.obj".



2)  Copy it into OpenInsight using the following command from the System Editor:



run copy_os_to_row 'checkout.obj', 'SYSOBJ', '$REPOS.DOSGEN..CHECKOUT', 1, 1



3)  Log out, log back in, and retry the operation that failed, and post any error messages.



Thank you,



Cameron. Revelation

<QUOTE>Alex,



I believe that we know what caused the error.  It is going to be resolved for 3.5, hopefully for pre-release 2 (any day now).  The problem is that the copy of an OS file failed due to an inability to open the source and/or destination.  In 3.5 we are providing a new utility to copy OS files in a very similar manner to how the DOS COPY command works (which can copy files that are even in use by Windows).  This utility also maintains the date/time and attributes of the file when it is copied.  The syntax is simple:  Utility("COPYFILE", Src, Dest) ... but it won't be there until the next pre-release.

<QUOTE>Thanks for the file, Cameron.  I copied it in and found that the "Variable not assigned a value" error was happening on Line 164 of REPOS.DOSGEN..CHECKOUT.  



However, I actually managed to do a deployment!  The crashes may have been due to having other people logged in to OI during the deployment process.

The problem that you reported has been resolved for OI/WG 3.5 pre-release 2.
