SYMPTOMS
DDCONV produces a Ddcerr.log file that contains only "DDCONV Initializing" when upgrading a Visual SourceSafe 4.x installation.



CAUSE
DDCONV does not have to go through the usual conversion routines for a database that is in 4.x format, because the structure of the database files did not change from versions 4.x to 5.x. The only difference was the addition of a 128 byte unique identifier in the Um.dat file. This identifier is not added during the DDCONV session.



RESOLUTION
No action is required. The database should function normally under Visual SourceSafe version 5.0.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The normal output in the Ddcerr.log file after a successful conversion of a non-version 4.x database is as follows:   DDCONV initializing Creating subfolders Moving files Creating rights DB  Building project list Creating names DB  Converting log files Adding project rights Converting users DDCONV finished
