programmaticallypromoting a snapshot

That should work just fine. You don't even need to remove the snapshot first -- it can be associated with multiple workspaces/streams.

The Promote action in the Search view when you Show Snapshots is implemented this way.

What error, if any, are you getting?

I actually figured out that I didn't need to make the call to remove and I only needed to do an add. Thanks for your help!

I had a request for a code snippet on how this was actually accomplished. Note that this snippet is from a task that extends the AbstractTeamBuildTask class.

IWorkspaceManager workspaceManager = SCMPlatform.getWorkspaceManager(getTeamRepository());

		IWorkspaceConnection workspaceConnection = workspaceManager.getWorkspaceConnection(workspace, getProgressMonitor());



		IFlowTable flowTable = workspaceConnection.getFlowTable();

		IFlowEntry flowEntry = flowTable.getCurrentDeliverFlow();

		IWorkspace flowWorkspace = (IWorkspace)getTeamRepository().itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(flowEntry.getFlowNode(), IItemManager.REFRESH, getProgressMonitor());

		IWorkspaceConnection flowConnection = workspaceManager.getWorkspaceConnection(flowWorkspace, getProgressMonitor());		

				

		List<IBaselineSet> snapshots = SourceControlUtility.getBaselineSets(getTeamRepository(), workspaceConnection, getProgressMonitor());

		for(IBaselineSet set : snapshots){

			if(set.getName().equals(snapshotName)){

				flowConnection.addBaselineSet(set, getProgressMonitor());

				break;

			}

		}

This can also be done using the SCM command line (under scmtools in the RTC eclipse client install).

./scm.sh help snapshot promote

Can you tell me what scm version you are using? I'm seeing:
Unknown subcommand "snapshot"

From Nick: It was only added in 3.0 M4: Want a promote snapshot for CLI (84638) However, you should be able to use the 3.0 M4 SCM CLI against a 2.0.0.x server. 3.0 M5 has version compatibility issues though.
