Incorrect Schema?

[twiceroadsfool]

Anyone ever see this?

End User made a local copy, and had been working in it for a few minutes. Got this error message when trying to STC or Save Locally.

Save As worked fine, during which we made another local copy. Then STC worked fine.

But ive never seen that message before, can anyone offer some insight as to what it means?

Nope, have not seen this at all. I'll be checking this thread though to see what the answer is.

We have ONE users workstation that has now produced this error twice, both in different local models. Other users in local models of the same file have not had any issues (ive never seen the error before), and in both cases, completing a Save As and renaming the local file seemed to fix the issue.

Anyone at all?

[NKramer]

I got this yesterday. I let me stc but not the local.

Was wondering what it was myself....

I never got an answer here, and never filed an SR over it. It only happened that one day, and weve been having some bizarre server issues.

Considering it was isolated to one workstation, with two models, on one day, and never occured again, im leaning towards doing nothing, lol...

We just got the same error in a file with 10 users working in it. We too had crazy server issues over the weekend, on top of which we got the error immediately after a newbie saved his local over the central. The user did a 'save-as', & we were able to make new locals to continue to work, but it was an abrupt error that ended up costing us 17 man-hours, & we would like to avoid it in the future!

Has anyone seen any resolution on this issue?

[twiceroadsfool]

Resolution to which issue? The "incorrect schema" warning, or newbies saving over the Central File?

I never got an answer to my inquiry, but i still think it was something with the workstation that was at fault.

The other issue, well... Metal rulers, and swift justice. :)

[Liz437]

Hahaha the "incorrect schema" issue is the one of interest here......

The other issue has been rectified; though our dungeon is getting a little full......;)

[dbaldacchino]

Someone in our firm reported the same issue (incorrect schema). They couldn't get rid of it and had to recreate a new central file and new locals. Then it went away. Sounds like it has something to do with the GBxml schema perhaps? I think it's worth an SR.

[twiceroadsfool]

Ours was a local file when it occurred, and it didnt affect anyone other than the one user with the offending hardware.

Dave, is it doing it to EVERYONE in that project for you?

[dbaldacchino]

Not sure...came from another office and I didn't get all the details. If I find out I'll post back but if I recall they just created a new central and new locals and the error went away.

[ymartinez]

i am trying to access a recovery file but i get a message saying " file contains an incorrect shema" Anyone?? Help Please!!

[cganiere]

I'm getting the same message file name, "contains an incorrect schema".
I worked over the WAN on Friday.

In this case it was a corruption of the central file. I opened the central file saved it as a new file and made it a central file and had all the users make new local files.

[dhurtubise]

It happens when theres issue saving to central. Its the DB Schema that it referes too. Must have been a routing problem, hardware problem, etc.. not easy to troubleshoot.

Easiest way to prevent is to recreate the central and of course the locals.

[twiceroadsfool]

We get it a lot when people VPN from the outside, and work on Workshared projects. For that reason, weve told everyone not to. Too many variables: Internet connection whereever they are, net traffic, etc.

We tell them to Remote Desktop to a station on the premises, instead.

Ive also seen it on non-workshared projects that were put on an FTP site (or other) while someone was still in the file.

I just got the Incorrect Schema error... working on an individual file, non-workset based, at my desktop in the office. Weirder though is that I was saving for the first time on a brand new file when an "irrecoverable error occurred... but your file was recently saved so no worries" pop up happened. Then when trying to open the file that I just saved from before the crash, (which was only 12kb?!?!) I got the Incorrect Schema error..

we're having a lot of the irrecoverable error messages, but this is the first with an incorrect schema error thrown in.

12kb file usually means it got killed before the save. Machine stats? Amount of memory? We were getting crashes and fatal errors with "saves" and 12kb useless files, when we were pre-64 bit and sub-4GB of RAM.

[wadeshuey]

I had this error as I was saving right before a crash. Then I noticed that my central file was not saving at all and I had been saving at my reminders. Then when I went to open my local back up is was corrupt. I lost a half of a day of work. My local file time stamp was off by 3 hrs.

Is this a server issue then?

Be very carful this bug is not fun.

[Duncan Lithgow]

That sounds very like my error "[file name] contains an incorrect schema". I got a message that Revit was crashing and to save a recovery file. That save seemed to work but gave me just the 12KB file mentioned earlier, which obviously won't open. When I went to see when I last had saved to central that file was one and a half hours old - odd because I get a synchronise and save reminder every 30 minutes - and I usually do sync when told.

Some background
- Windows 7 / 64 bit / Revit Architecture 2011
- We have also recently had work on our servers with a few issues.
- I've been seeing some problems with the driver to my Quattro graphic card
- At the time I was trying to learn about compound walls inside a 17MB project, but only had made one.

[pchan925]

One of the user just reported that she got the same "incorrect schema" error and can't STC her file.
I was able to do a saveas for that local file but decided to run a new local file from central since there is not much of a loss of data.
But did anyone come up with an answer about what happen?
The user just started the model in Revit arch 2012 (about 20Mb), it is a worksharing file but she is the only person working on at the time.
Nothing crazy nor no crashes happen before.

I don't see this as a immediate threat yet but wanted to know if there is a solution to it. The first post from Aaron was from 2008!!!

Typically this shows up when part of the file is lost while it is being copied (i.e. a new local file is being created). If that is the case then the error should show up when you try to open. Typically if you try to make a new local that will fix it.

If you are seeing the error after you have been working on the file for a while it tends to suggest that something is corrupt in the file itself. I would recommend sending the file to Autodesk and have them take a look to see if there is anything they can find.

Either that or dump the old file and start over. Don't even copy things out of it as the problem tends to follow the objects not just the file. I know this is harsh and you will lose time, but better a few hours now rather than days or weeks (I've been there) later on...

[Duncan Lithgow]

Sorry Philip, I've not found any explanation or solution to this issue.

[cr_gixxer]

just ran into this error for the first time. couldn't save or sync to central
saved as another local file with a different name, then sync'd to central.
seemed to work.
