Vault check if version of a file (path) exists

[jp1982]

Hello Vault team! I am running client/server version 3.1.9.3798.

I have a tiny command line app that gets the files from vault with a specified version. I am trying to ensure, before trying to download the file, that the version really exists. Is there a command I can use for this? I tried using the endversion I saw on the online command list but I believe because of the version I am running that is not supported.

Thanks in advanced!

You could run a history query and give a version range there with the switches -beginversion and -endversion. If you tried the -endversion switch alone, try using it with -beginversion as well.

I was in fact using this:

history -rowlimit 1 -beginversion 25 $/MYFILEPATH

So lets assume the latest version of MYFILEPATH is version 20, if I use the line above.. I do get a success result = YES and returns the info for version 20 (the latest version). I thought this would return an error but id doesn't. I also tried using -endversion but it seems it is not recognized:

<vault>
<error>
unknown option: -endversion - run 'vault.exe HELP' for help
</error>
<result success="no" />
</vault>

This is how I've tried to use it. Again latest version is 20. None of these seem to work correctly. I have turn ON the rememberlogin option prior running the command.
history -rowlimit 1 -endversion 30 $/MYFILEPATH
history -rowlimit 1 -beginversion 30 -endversion 30 $/MYFILEPATH
history -endversion 30 $/MYFILEPATH

Thanks for the help!

It appears -endversion didn't come into being until Vault 4.0.

You might have to perform a general history on an item and then parse the results and when you're at the version number see if it matches the version you want.

That is what I thought, just wanted to make sure my suspicions were correct. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome.
