What's the syntax for the CLI SCM ASSOCIATE command?
I'm trying to associate a work item to a change set via the SCM.EXE program.
This command works fine for adding a change set comment. scm changeset comment -r https://myhost/jazz -d C:\workspace\myworkspace 1003 "my comment" -u myuserid The 2.0.0.1 Help says the following for the SCM Changeset topic. Associate a change set with a work item. But when I try this where 36 is the work item ID and 1003 is the change set alias... scm changeset comment -r https://myhost/jazz -d C:\workspace\myworkspace --associate 36 1003 "my comment" -u myuserid ... I get this error message. Unknown subcommand: Unknown subcommand "-r". Try 'scm help changeset'. I've tried variations, SCM --HELP says ASSOCIATE is a subcommand, not an option. I tried that but got the same error. |

Never mind. I need to take the advice I give my seven-year old: read the directions. I still think the online help is wrong, but the SCM command says "scm help changeset". I was putting two dashes in front of "help".
Here's an example. 1178 is the change set alias. 13133 is the work item ID. scm changeset associate -r https://myhost/jazz -w "myworkspace" 1178 13133 -u myuserid -p mypassword |
You're right. The doc is wrong.
We're doing a pass over the documentation now to try and improve things. In the meantime, I suggest using the built-in help: 'scm help {subcommand-name}'. Side note: In the command line interface, functionality is divvied up between "subcommands". Subcommands are hierarchical and are not prefixed with --/-. The exceptions are the --help and --version arguments that internally map to subcommands, but are included to improve usability. |
