Cons buildspace not building in CBS

Question

We've run into a snag in our JDI build process. Somehow, even though all of our DCs build fine in the dev buildspace, they fail in the cons buildspace. We know the exact locations of the build failures and the specific files look OK. It isn't related to external dependencies. So, something is off in the source code.
Has anyone else encoutered a problem like that? Would synching the two DTR branches up so they are consistent help (cons and dev)? How would I do that?
Thanks.

Hello Rob,
Since you are using SP11, you can use the following utility in DTR to compare workspaces in DEV and CONS. Please log into DTR and from the base url (http://<serverName>:<port>/dtr), Please follow the path System-tools > Reports > Workspace Comparison. You can use this page to compare any 2 workspaces. So, to find
1. Unreleased activities:
   The left workspace would be DEV/active and the right workspace would be CONS/inactive. You can check for integrations to know the activities that have not been integrated into cons (and if there are any, you can release and import them).
2. Pending activities:
   The left workspace would be cons/inactive and the right workspace would be CONS/active. You can check for integrations to know the activities and activate if there are any.
As a sanity check, you can check all files between dev/active and cons/active to make sure they are identical.
As for the child DC, if it is not used by anyone else, I don't see how it would cause a problem. However, you might want to delete the child DC locally to see whether it results in any of the DCs being broken.
If all this doesn't work - you might want to work with the finer details. Please look at the build log of the broken DC to see what the compile time errors are and that will give you an idea of which DC the problem is due to.
Do get back to me in case of any clarifications.
