Move folders from one repository to another

Post by bwild_wellspring » Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:06 am

Hi All! Just a quick question. Is there a way to move a folder from one repository to another. We set up a repository called Sandbox to allow people to get used to using it. Unfortunately , someone didnt follow instructions and placed production code there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you have history you need to move with it, then you can use our Export/Import tool that installs with the server and Admin tool.

If there's no history yet, then the fastest way to move it is to pull a copy down to disk, delete what's in the test repository, and add it to where you want it to be.

If you are using IDE integration, then you will want to unbind it (through Change Source Control), save and close VS, and then reopen the project from disk, add it to source control and select the repository you want to place it in.

Where's the Import/Export tool?

There is history I would like to preserve. How do I access the Import/Export tool. I've looked on the server for any other .exe to run and have checked both the Admin and GUI Client and haven't located such a tool.

I see the VSS Import tool on your site on the download page. Is this what you mean?

We're using version 3.1.8.

Thanks,
Josh

I see the Import/Export tool wasn't introduced until 3.5

Sorry, yes, you are correct. That's only available with Vault 3.5.x and higher.
