First,
Look in the m directory for mvybaaaa* files. What they are:
mvybaaaa = history file.
mvybaaaa.a OR mvybaaaa.b = the latest version of the source file.
What I believe occurs during a checkin, is that either a .a or .b file
exists, and the other is created when a checkin occurs. Then they are
compared, the differences are recorded in the history file, and the older of
..a or .b is deleted. Each time you check in, the history file grows and the
..a/.b file is toggled. If you have network problems or a crash, this can
get out-of-sync. I suspect the the history file thinks you should have a
mvybaaaa.a file present, but it is really a mvybaaaa.b file. Analyze
doesn't seem to know how to fix this.
Microsoft says, from the VSS 6.0d readme:
"Caution Never rename an .a or .b file in the DATA folder. Although doing
so appears to correct the immediate problem that you are experiencing (such
as: The file QRBAAAAA.A not found.), it will make the previous versions of
the file unrecoverable. If you receive this error, restore the file pair
from a recent backup."
So your best bet is to restore the file pair of myvbaaaa and myvbaaaa.(a|b)
from a recent backup. If you don't have that, if the .b file is present you
will have the latest (or next to latest) version of the file that is having
the problem and you will lose past history.

Hi Prabhu,
It seems that your VSS Database is corrupted. Please try running the
Analyze version 8.0 to see if it can fix the DB.

Be careful about that. I simulated the problem by renaming a .a to a .b
file and ran the version 8 analyze on the database. It found and fixed the
database....by deleting the file represented by that corrupted file. It
did, however, put the original "bad" files in the data\backup directory,
which I then copied back to the original locations.
At the very least the .a/.b file you have is the lastest good version of
the file, but you may lose history. Restoring the file pair from a backup
as Microsoft recommended seems to be the only course that will save your
history.

Hi Cat / Mark
AS I understand their is no straight forward way, but it involves risks to
actually perform the steps given by you.
What could be the best way to delete the folder without losing history??
If Analyze version 8.0 can fix this issue, then whats the command to execute
this?? and can we run command in our current set up(VSS 6D) ??
Cheers,
Prabhu

The database format for VSS 6D and VSS 2005 (also known as 8.0) is the same,
so there is no issue running analyze 8.0 on a 6D database.
The command is "analyze -v4 -f data" when run from the directory with
srcsafe.ini in it, and assuming analyze.exe is in the path or that directory
as well. Run it *without* -f to see what it will fix, and *with* -f to
actually fix the database. Be aware the "fixing" may include removing files
and directories that are corrupted, but any physical database files affected
(changed or deleted) will be backed up in the data\backup directory, and you
can inspect them to recover what information you can from the backups.

Still the issue persists

Did you use the lastest version of analyze from VSS 2005? What were the
errors found in analyze.log? You'll find it in data\backup.
