I never saw a way to just insert into the file, I always red the whole file change what I want and then put it back.

Once you've setup your development environment following the instructions in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTCSDK20_DevelopmentEnvironmentSetup, there are snippets that show how to deliver.

If you take a look the com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.tests.workload project in the SDK, you'll see several tasks and checkin.deliver.add files.

List components = workspace.getComponents();

IComponentHandle component = (IComponentHandle) a.next();
IComponent comp = (IComponent)repo.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(component, IItemManager.DEFAULT, MONITOR);

// The root folder is created when the component is created.
// add a folder called 'project' to the workspace
IChangeSetHandle cs1 = workspace.createChangeSet(component, MONITOR);

// Find file handle
IConfiguration iconfig = (IConfiguration) workspace.configuration(component);

Hello,
Do you know how can I modify the existing file such as insert one line at the begining or end of the file.
Because I do not want to update the whole file.
I can not find the such api, Can you tell me how to do?
Thank you very much.


BR,
Michael

K M is correct, you have to upload the entire content.

 That is to say I could not just modify a line one time, and each time I have to write the whole file and upload?
but I think it's really not a good method. Is there any good ways? Can I use the iostream to modify the file locally and 
then upload it to the server?
