PVC - Capture will not open

Papervision Capture uses SQL to keep track of everything it is doing and if SQL express is being used, there is a 10gb limit. If processing several batches, this will fill up the Maintenance Logs very quickly. If the SQL DB is full, a similar error as the one shown below will be given:

Open

Use the following steps to check if this is the same problem is being experienced in your environment and can use the steps to correct the issue:

1. Open SQL Management Studio

2. Log into the SQL Server that is being used for PVC

3. Once connected, locate the “PVDM_SYS_MAINTLOGS”

4. right-click and select properties

5. check the size of the table. If it is excessively large, such as 8+ GB large, this will need to be emptied

   1. If that table is not large or is not present, can also check the “PV_SYS_MAINTLOGS” table and check the size of that table

6. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF THE DATABASE BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES IN CASE YOU NEED TO ROLLBACK THE CHANGES!

7. Right-click the large table and select Script Table As → Drop and Create to → New Query Editor Window
   
   

   Open

   

    

8. This will open a new query window with a pre-filled script

9. Hit F5 and run the script

10. The table will now be empty

11. Open PVC and the error should no longer be thrown.
