Obliterate Process

Post by btd » Tue Aug 14, 2007 7:29 am

The UI to Obliterate deleted files can only be done on a repository by repositlroy basis. Since we have over 55 repositories, AND the fact that to "Oblierate" takes so long to come up for any given large repository, we'd be looking at a two day process.

Is there any tool (ie C# app) that I can use to obliterate files from a repository programmatically? This way I could schedule it to run and not have to sit and wait on the UserInterface.

Thanks

Tom

PS We are on Vault v 3.16 (SG 3658).

We added Obliterate to the Vault command line client -- though I'm not sure if it was available in Vault 3.1.6. You can check for the obliterate command in the CLC by running "Vault.exe help" via the command line in the Vault GUI Client directory.
