Get label from Vault

[achinpuri]

I am in a process of migrating our source code from VSS to vault. After migrating half of the source code, I noticed a strange problem with latest version 2.05. When I try to get the files based on the labels, I get following error:


commandline 1:
==========

"D:\Program Files\SourceGear\Vault Client\vault.exe" getlabel -host hostname -user admin -password password -repository repositoryname -setfiletime current -merge overwrite -destpath d:\temp $/Dev/xxx versionNo


Error1:

When I try the following command line, I get the error as below:

Vault Versions:

I have tried with all the versions of vault client from 2.03 to 2.05. Please suggest, what should be the reason behind this?

Can you get the files by the same label from the GUI client (at the same folder)? If so, this would indicate either a CLC problem or a parameter problem.

The second example might be a problem with the *.* - I'm not sure that getlabel accepts wildcards.

Hi Dan,

I am able to get the label through GUI.

We want to get it resolved ASAP as we are holding our source safe vault migration because of this issue.

Please let me know your phone no. or call me at 310-410-9600 ext. 22303.

Thanks

It turned out that Achin was expecting a folder label get to retrieve file labels if they had the same label name, which the command line client does not currently support.
