Error 303 When Performing a Search in Vault

You have created a user in Vault with the following permissions:


Issue: you perform any search in the Vault (menu Tools - Find) but you got this error message:

"Error 303: You do not have the adequate permissions to perform this operation"

This issue occurred because you picked on "Look For" the option "Any" (this is default) and it will search within the items (where the user doesn´t have permissions) as well.
Solution is to pick the option "Files" (or "Folders"):

Vault Office Addin Not Appearing After Installing DL19837065

After installing DL19837065 (link no longer available as it has been unpublished), you may notice that the Vault 2013 addin for Microsoft Office applications either stops working (the icons are greyed out) or you may get an error similar to this when trying to run them.

Could not load file or assembly 
'Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.Forms, version=17.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa20f34aedd220e1' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Autodesk have re-released a fix for this issue that includes additional fixes in DL20133057.

So uninstall DL19837065 and install the newer hotfix.

"Failed to create full backup task"

If you try to set up a backup from within the ADMS Console, in some environments you can get this message.

Trying to set up an incremental backup you will get the "Failed to create incremental backup task"

This happens because the command being sent to the Windows Task Scheduler is using a MM/DD/YYY format.

You can use one of the following workarounds

1) Manually create the task in Windows Task Scheduler

2) run the following script modifying the variables appropriately

schtasks.exe /Create /SC WEEKLY /D SUN /TN "Vault Full Backup" /TR "\"H:\lib\Debug\VaultFullBackup.bat\"" /ST 23:00:00 /SD 06/28/2012

3) Change the locale of the Vault Server to one that uses a MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g. English US)

Autodesk will be addressing this issue in a future release.

The MicroStation integration for Vault enables MicroStation V8i users to connect to Autodesk® Vault Collaboration AEC 2013 from within MicroStation, permitting MicroStation users the ability to manage their design data from within their design tool. Specifically, the integration provides users the ability to manage file versions via check in and check out, manage file references, manage title block attributes, batch plot, get Vault status, and dynamically create visualization files for sharing data with downstream non-CAD users. This integration also works with Vault Workgroup, Vault Collaboration, and Vault Professional.

There are components of this integration that reside on both the client and server machines, as well as the DWF publisher which resides on the Job Processing machine. Please refer to the administrative guide for more details on installation and use.
