TF400030 when trying to do initial checkin of large codebase

Question

I am trying to evaluate TFSPreview to see if it would be a suitable option for my company rather than having our own on-premis TFS.

I am really struggling trying to do an initial checkin of the source.  The codebase is 5.5GB and whenever VS 2012 goes onto the Pending Changes screen, it all starts to fall apart.

The error is always the same:

TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation.  Please wait and then try your operation again.  If this error persists, restart the application.

Needless to say, I have restarted the application several times.  The furthest i have got is about 5 mins into the initial checkin, then the error appeared and VS was completely unresponsive after that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Answer 1

Further to the above post. I am getting more related errors.

I was trying to branch the large codebase (project a) described above. During the branch I opened another instance of VS 2012 and tried to load a different solution (project b).

This different solution is a seperate project on TfsPreview. It is not in the same source tree.

On the project b I receievd an error saying that TFS was unreachable and the solution would open in "Offline mode".

On project a, the branch stopped and hung on a file (at the same time as opening project b). After about 2 mins I got an error on Project B saying:

"TF400017: The workspace properties table for the local workspace XXXXX could not be openened. TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation. Please wait and then try your operation again. If this persists, restart the application."

This was then followed up with lots of these:

"TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available from server xxxx.tfspreview.com\DefaultCollection. Technical information (for administrator): The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."

So far TFS Preview seems to have a few issues!

Answer 2

It is beginning to look more an more like a conflict of multiple instances of VS trying to communicate with a single TFS server that is causing the issue.  This is not an issue with my current setup of VS 2010 and TFS 2010.

Answer 3

Hi discens,

Thank you for your post.

Please try to open just ONE VS 2012 application, connect to TFSP via team explorer, check in the datasource.

Can team explorer connect to TFSP properly?
Will the check in process successfully? If not, please post the error message.

Regards,

Lily,

Thanks for the response.  Yes I got the initial checkin to work by only having one VS open.

I am yet to get the branch described in post 2 to work.  This is due to the fact that "Source Control Explorer" hasn't worked since.  When I get the TF400030 error described above, Source Control Explorer stops working.  This blog post (http://justkarp.com/2012/05/01/tfs-11-express-beta-error-tf400030/) contains a work around, which worked for me between post 1 and 2, but is no longer working.

The result is that now Source Control Explorer just sits there saying "working", until it times out and I get another TF400030 error alert.

Screenshot enclosed:

None of this is an issue with my current VS2010 and TFS 2010 setup. I am able to open multiple instances of VS2010 and perform simultaneous tasks within the same workspace.

Whilst offline, Microsoft Support have confirmed this as a bug which will be released in the next Visual Studio 2012 quarterly update.

More information can be found here.

Answer 9

I am getting the same problem and I only have one instance of Visual Studio Open.

The conflict occured with Team Explorer in the process of checking in files. I then tried to add another file to the project, assuming the operation had completed (I don't dispute that blocking is incorrect behaviour), but the Check In button was just greyed out and the checking operation just didn't seem responsive. I'm assuming something else is blocking was that operation in the first place.

I've seen several different blocking behaviours, such as when Source Control Explorer is open and when I try to check in. This doesn't always time out with the message so it could be something different.

The workaround is to restart the application as per the message "If this error persists, restart the application.", though sometime it's a combination or restarting Visual Studio and the Team Foundation web site.

Answer 10

Hi Trevor,

I am also facing the same issue with this sorce control... What steps i want to follow?

Answer 11

VS 2012 Win 8 TFS Preview Single Instance

Same issue as everybody else.

The local data store
is currently in use by another operation. Please wait and then try your
operation again. If this error persists, restart the application.

I understand the multi VS issue and I can avoid that. But It also jams up if NuGet gets updates and most any multi-file operation.

Guys this need to be resolved and quickly

It happens so frequently that I can no longer use TFS. This issue has been know for a very long time ..

It's 2013 and TFS 'Preview' is still not a production release.

I'm having the same issue. It seems machine specific as on my works machine and two laptops its fine, but on my home PC its completely unusable. After hanging for about 5 minutes I get the same data store in use error.

VS2012 running as admin with onlly one instance running.
