Changed By is Showing as "Unknown"

[danelliott]

Why does SQL Source Control seem to forget who made a change? My edits almost always end up showing as being changed by "Unknown" instead of my username.

SQL Source Control uses the default trace to find out who made the changes.
A few causes for you seeing unknown would be:

- the trace is disabled
- you don't have permission to read it
- it's rolled over to a new file between you changing the object and visiting the commt/get latest tab

If you click the "unkown" link it should give you a few hints on the above.

Hi

An Early Access Release of SQL Source Control v3.1 is now available that includes a solution to the 'Changed by = Unknown' problem.
