Check-out all latest versions

[pmccafferty]

I am using SourcGear Vault Client Version 3.5.1

Is there an easy way to check-out all the latest versions of files of all the repositories within the vault at once instead of manually checking each file?

Maybe a tool in SourceGear I am unaware of, a command prompt, or VB script?

Thanks!

You can right-click on a folder and checkout the folder. Note: checking out a large number of files can impede Vault performance. For best results, you should only checkout the files you need to work on.

I understand that, but is there a way to do this over a number of repositories?

I have 3 repositories that do not hold many files each, but it's a pain to switch between them and check out each folder.

Any suggestions?

You could use the Vault Command Line Client to write a batch file that runs commands in sequence to do the checkout from each repository.

To use the CLC, cd to the Vault Client directory and type "Vault Help."

You can also get HTML help online:

Thank you, I have it checking out each folder now. Is there a way to simplify the code so that I log in only once at the top of my batch file so that I dont have to keep writing -server -name - password ??

There's a REMEMBERLOGIN command that stores authentication information. Check the CLC documentation for details.

Also -- you could use the Vault CLC BATCH command, which allows mutliple Vault comands to be executed within one "run." For documentation, run "Vault Help Batch" from the command line within the Vault Client directory.
