Hi Jagan,

By default, Harvest uses CA_SCM_HOME (which is usually C:\Program Files\CA\SCM) as your Git working directory which is where all the git changes are temporarily staged before synchronising them to Harvest Database. Underneath this folder, a directory is created for each git project for this purpose.

What I believe must be happening in your case is that the "C:\Program Files" folder is restricted to only super users of that system and hence harvest not able to create a directory there.

You can always change this default git staging directory path by setting the -gitstagingdir parameter in your HServer.arg (more details in the documentation link below under Configure GIT Staging Directory section)

Please ensure you provide a directory (possibly on a different drive than C:\) with enough space on it as git staging directory.

Mallik.
