 Hi all,


Need some help and advice here?

We have a big RTC project which contains many thousands of files on last 10+ year. Now, I would like to download each file and their previous 5 versions with correct folder structure. If possible, I would like to preserve the checkin timestamp of the files too.

Thanks.

 Download to do what?  What are 5 previous versions considering branches?


Here the options I am aware of: 
  1. Create the repository workspace/stream that select the version you want. 
  2. Create an Eclipse workspace/sandbox and load the files of the repository workspace.
  3. Use the scm command line to load the file version you want.
  4. Use the API e.g. see https://github.com/jazz-community/ewm-scm-utils to download the files
  5. In the current version there is a command to export all versions for a component, not sure if it is a repotools command or in the SCM command line.

Hi Ralph, Thanks for your help! 1. We would like to upload those files and their previous 5 version to Sharepoint for a project.  2. The previous 5 versions of a file is not necessary a branch. Just the versions of those word doc, excel and visio that our customers checked in. 3. Regarding the scm command line to load the file version, can I loop each folder and each file, then find out the version information and download each version?
