Is it possible to download all history versions of a specific file in one step ?
I have a file in RTC source control with more than 100 versions and now I'm searching for a way to download all versions in one step.
Is it possible ? |

You can use the scm cli to do these kind of operations.
If you have the item id and state/version id's then you can use the 'scm get file <item id> <state or version id> <path on disk>'
If you do not have the item information you can fetch the history that shows the item id and state id/version id by using the 'scm -u y history -w <workspace or stream name/uuid> -C <component name/uuid> -R <path relative to the component>'
Also take a look at 'scm get change' which downloads a specific change from the change set.
Comments Is it possible to include the change comment into the download ?
This history command shows the change set comment in the output. You also use the --json option to get the output in json format. |
Comments
But what would you do with 100 files of the same name?
If you mark the "history" files in the eclipse client and select "Open File" then you can save file by file and they have "different" names - file name + "internal id".
But it doesn't help to save these files without their change comment.
My customer wants to compare the files before a change request - after a change request.
