v4.1.4: show history without truncate

[kha]

I need to show history of the codes for over 2 yrs in history. The result got truncated and it can only show 2500 rows. Is there anyway I can get them all at once or automatically export them into a file?

Check in the Vault GUI Client for any limits on history. This setting is in the Vault Client under Tools->Options->History/Labels->Limit Queries to: xx rows.

Another option is to do the History query with the Command Line Client. It's called Vault.exe and is in the Vault GUI Client directory.

From our online documentaton:

For other documentation, use the Command Line Client. Type Vault help or Vault helphtml from the command line while you're in the Vault GUI Client directory.

Thanks, lbauer!

If i want to export all the code, for say, checked in on Aug 1, 2007, how can i do that? I mean the actual code, not the report. Can i do it on the History Explorer window? Knowing that the code checked in on Aug 1, 2007 might have newer version checked in on, for say, September 1, 2008.

I really appreciate your help and fast response

If you want you code in the state it was on Aug 1, 2007, you can do a get from Folder History. Right click on the folder and select Show History. In the History Query dialog, select View folder history by version. This will give you a list of versions with their dates. Select the version that corresponds to the date you want, and click on Get from the buttons on the right.

However if you don't want all the files that existed on Aug 1, 2007, but just the files that were checked in, you'd do a history query filter/sort. Right click on the folder, and select Show History. In the History Query dialog, select View folder history by item. In the Actions tab, select only the Checkin action, and in the Dates & Labels tab, filter by the date(s) you want. In the results report, you can right-click on each item and select Get.

Another option would be to save a copy of the results and use it as the basis of a Command Line Client script to get the specific files you need. You'd use the GETVERSION command in the Command Line Client.
