teamFetch task
Hi,
If I am using the build engine to do private builds I need to use the teamFetch Ant Task to extract the code to build. The wording in the docs implies that ALL workspace files are extracted, not just those that are changed in the active change sets for the workspace components. Is there a way just to extract just the changed files? Thanks and regards, Ian Hodges.. |
One answer
The teamFetch task does what's known as a "merge load", meaning that it tries to load what is in repository workspace over what you currently have on the file system, replacing only the files/folders that are different. This does more work than simply loading the changes that were accepted, but is -much- more resilient to failure (e.g. if a previous build's fetch failed for some reason, it's able to recover). But a merge load should be quite a bit faster than doing a full load from scratch. If you do want to force a full load, just delete the load directory first.
