I want to save a set of files from a stream (or repository workspace) to my local disk. However, if I create a sandbox to do this - RTC writes metadata files, etc along with the files I want. How can I get the files without the metadata?
This is on RTC 5.0. I can think of two ways, but suspect there may be an easier way: 1) Use a Build where the build script does the copy of the files to a destination directory on my local disk. The destination directory would be a build parameter. 2) Use the RTC Eclipse plugin to load the files into my sandbox, then use the Export function on Eclipse to write the files to a file system. A customer has to create a set of files that get written to a DVD or USB key, then handed over to another group who then load these files (to a production system). The different systems (production and development) cannot see each other. |

Off the top of my head, what if you unloaded the local sandbox, but chose to disconnect rather than delete the local files. Wouldn't that remove the metadata?

I think Robert is right. Besides 1& 2 seem the same to me. Load (user or build user) is the same. |
