Moving client to new machine, change working folder

[kkchan]

Hi
I am moving my Vault Client to to new machine.
I have copied all my source file (some files are checked out), and local cache folder to new machine as well.
I would like move my source file to other folder for better organize. I found that, it would cause all files status become "unknown".

How to resolve it?

Thank you

When you do a Get Latest to a working folder, Vault Client also fetches a copy of the file to the client-side cache, where it is used for a baseline. Vault Client determines the status of a file in the working folder by comparing it to the baseline.

If you manually copy files into a working folder, Vault Client recognizes that the files in the working folder have the same names as the files in the repository folder. However, since you didn't do a Get Latest to get the files from the repository, there's no baseline file. So the client shows the Unknown status.

I'd suggest that you backup the files in the working folder, do a Get Latest (which also will get the baselines), then replace the files in the working folder with the backups. Another option might be to do a Get Latest with the "don't overwrite, merge later" option.
