Command Line GET

TimK · Post by **TimK** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:32 am

When I run this command

c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe" commandline="GET $/xxx -host xxx -username xxx -password xxx -makewritable -merge overwrite -repository xxx -destpath xxx"

I get all the file marked "Old" but do not get the files marked "Needs Merge" even though I have added the switch "-merge overight"

Can you see what I've done wrong?

I could use more information. Are you getting to a working folder or non-working folder? the -destpath option gets the file to a non-working folder and doesn't update status information.

If you are getting to a working folder, try removing -destpath. Vault will know to use the currently defined working folder.

If you continue to experience difficulty, post back with the current command and the version of Vault client and server you are using.

I was getting files to a non-working folder but changed it now (see below)

c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe" commandline="GET $/xxx -host xxx -username xxx -password xxx -makewritable -merge overwrite -repository xxx "

Server and client version: 3.1.6.3658

BTW in the client the working folders are set to inherited except the root

D:\Sites\xxxx\apps (inherited)

Don't know if this makes a difference.

Linda, any luck resolving my issue?

I ran this command C:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client>vault GET -host xxx -username xxx -password xxx -repository "Default Repository" -merge overwrite $/addfiles/tests -makewritable, and my Needs Merged files got overwritten.

So the Command Line Client works properly. You might experiment with your command.

Also, check the Vault server log to see if there were any errors in fetching those files.
