jbe -data flag sometimes ignored?

Frederic Mora (138●1●15●18) | asked Sep 23 '09, 11:20 a.m.
I had a problem with my JBE invocation. I was invoking is as follows: 


/jbe -vm /opt/IBM/RTC_Client/jazz/client/eclipse/jdk/bin/java \

   -repository https://$BUILDHOST/jazz -userId $JBEUID \

   -passwordFile jbepass.txt -engineId buildengine2 \

   -sleeptime 5 \

   -data $DATADIR


I am running as a non-root user $JBEUID, $DATADIR is a dir that this user can write to.

Yes, I had an error in the log telling me that jbe could not create its .metadata dir in the default (root-owned) location. So the -data option seemed ignored.

I restarted the same command with the -data option right after the repository option: 


/jbe -vm /opt/IBM/RTC_Client/jazz/client/eclipse/jdk/bin/java \

   -repository https://$BUILDHOST/jazz -userId $JBEUID \

   -data $DATADIR \

   -passwordFile jbepass.txt -engineId buildengine2 \

   -sleeptime 5


Now I see the .metadata being created in the right place in $DATADIR.

This test seems to show that -data is ignored if its the last parameter. Can someone please reproduce this test?

Thank you,

--Fred Mora

I'm unable to reproduce the problem (using JBE from RTC 2.0.0.1 on Windows XP). The command line I'm using is: 

jbe -vm c:\rtc-2.0.0.1\jazz\client\eclipse\jdk\bin\java -repository https://jazzdev.torolab.ibm.com:9443/jazz

 -userId nedgar -pass <mypassword> -engineId engine1 -sleepTime 5 -data c:\temp\workspace


The workspace .metadata directory gets created under c:\temp\workspace as expected.
