"Get" from commandline does not override "Old

[ssinger]

Hello.

I'm running a "Get" from the command line and for someone reason it only partially seems to work.
The vault client still says "Old", but the file is actually refreshed on my local hard drive. Here's
the command line that I'm using:

Code: Select all

vault Get -host vaultSvr  -user MyId -password MyPwd -verbose -merge overwrite -setfiletime modification -performdeletions removeworkingcopy -makereadonly  -repository "MyRepository" -destpath "C:\MainDirectory\Trunk\"  "$/MainDirectory/Trunk"

I'm using Vault 3.1.7


Another somewhat related question:

When I use the "-backup yes" option on the command line, it backs up EVERY file to the _sgbak directories even if the file hasn't changed. Is this the way it works or am I doing something wrong?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Do you perform a refresh on your client? There is an auto refresh option in the Tools - Options that you can set to refresh faster. Also, are you getting to your working folder? The cache only watches what happens to the working folder, so if you get to someplace else, it won't notice. You should not use the -destpath option and then it will default to the working folder.

On the -backup switch, in your GUI, do you have it set to look use CRCs to determine modifications or using the defaults? If you are getting to a non-working folder, which is what -destpath does, it will make a back up of everything.

Thanks Beth! My problem was the -destpath option. Even though my -destPath folder was the same as my working folder, it did not refresh the Vault Client. Once this was working, then the -backup option only backed up the files it replaced. Thanks again!
