How to Programmatically Get Revision Information
Hi again
another scenario A user takes two Patches, built from two separate Change Sets. The same source/data items exist within both patches, at different revisions. Patch A contains the latest version of some routines, whilst Patch B contains the latest version of some others. We need to identify the latest revisions of the items contained in the Patches, in order to programmatically transfer the latest iterations to the user’s Unix area. We cannot simply assume Patch A supercedes Patch B or vice versa. Can anyone provide guidance on how this should be done many thanks Paul |

I believe the short answer is that "you can't". A "patch" does not
contain nearly enough information to allow you to do what you describe. To handle this, you would need the repository's knowledge of the relationship between change-sets, which is what the RTC SCM system provides. So you can use the RTC SCM system to perform this operation on change sets, but cannot do this operation on just the Patches produced from change sets. Cheers, Geoff PJBishop wrote: Hi again |
