Hi!
We are facing huge problems when working (with multiple developers) in TIS.
It happens very often that a job is completely empty when re-opening it and thus job cannot be run in TAC.
We're working with TIS Team Edition 4.1.2r53616, OS Windows 7 & XP.
SVN is installed on Windows Server 2003 using MS Visual SVN.
The issue of losing job content cannot reliably reproduced, but it's always happening like this.
1. open job and make modifications
2. save job
3. close job
4. re-open job -> no content
By looking into SVN I can see that job is only a few Bytes (instead of some KBs). It's sometimes possible to use the version before the last one to reproduce job, but without all the latest changes.
As we think this issue is related to SVN we've tried several things to prevent this: waiting for the SVN status bar to go away before opening a new job; save job before closing; trying different SVN commit and lock mode.
Issue is happening when working alone but more often when working with several persone ins one Talend project.
What we also noticed is that we cannot generate a job in TAC while job is saved in local TIS installation. If we generate it'll destroy job and delete all content. As we have deployed Talend Team Edition I am really sure that this behaviour must be a bug.
I would like to know whether anyone is having similar issues with SVN / TIS and how it can be fixed.
Maybe this issue isn't related to SVN but more to network problems, TIS installation or whatever. Any idea is highly appreciated as we are starting to doubt about the team working capability of Talend.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi Reiko
1. open job and make modifications
2. save job
3. close job
4. re-open job -> no content
After step 2, you'd better check SVN server whether this job items have been committed.
Then check step 4 to find which step causes this issue.

Well, if the job is empty after step 2 and wasn't before it is not a problem with committing. It seems like the job is cleared by TIS and then committed.
I have this problem too sometimes, unfortunetaly i don't know of a fix.
I too think the SVN integration in TIS is fairly unreliable and not properly implemented, you're better off using your own SVN.
Hi,
We are facing a similar issue, especially with routines.
Sometimes the last edits of a routine are gone after a restart of TIS (After properly saving the file and exiting TIS without errors)
We are using the autocommit feature of TIS.

Hi!
Well... I am somehow glad that others are having similar trouble, although not glad about the issue at all.
Of course it's impossible to check job in repository every time i saved it. I could do it sporadically but not always.
Dentiston, could you please clarify to me what you mean by saying "use your own SVN"? Does it mean I need to programme somehting by myself or just use another third party tool?
Thanks a lot,

Hi reiko,
yes, i meant you could use something like Tortoise SVN (or even Eclipse with Subclipse). Then you can use all the features SVN provides you with (tagging, working rollbacks, own commit messages, working branching & merging...).
Or you could try git. I guess you just have to disable the autocommit feature in TIS and handle the workspace by yourself.
And you can of course contact support, but with that lack of features i doubt a good solution in time.
Oh, here is another funny thing: goto
C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Local Settings\Temp
and you will find that Talend creates a SVN metadata folder for every commit you do (with the exact same content). I'm at 1000 folders right now, time to clean up again.
