SQL Compare Command Line Snapshot Comparison

Hi,

I am using SQL Compare Pro Command line to compare database snapshot produced by SQL Compare. When sqlcompare.exe could not find one of the snapshot, it produced the following error message. Even though the output clearly stated it could not find the snapshot file, it also ended with some ugly application error message (started with "System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException")

Is there anyway to remove the application error message in the end?



SQL Compare Command Line V6.0.0.1410

  • Could someone please let me know whether this is bug from SQL Compare?

    Thanks

  • Claire,

    Sorry, about your problems. Yes SQL Compare command line doesn't cope very well when it cannot locate the snapshots that you specify. It is rather ugly and we will be fixing this in the next point release.
