I am encountering problems using the scm workspace replace-component command, it runs but doesn't always replace the components in target workspace or stream with the latest changes from the parent stream.

Since RTC produces no logs when the replace-component command is run, and it doesn't even tell you whether it failed or succeeded on any given component (only lists components it finds that don't originate from the target stream you're updating from), I really have no way of knowing why this occurs, nor can I reproduce it. Sometimes it works fine, other times there are changes that are over 4 - 24 hours old that don't get updated in the target stream.

Does anyone have any experience using the scm workspace replace-component command and getting it to consistently update all components? Also if there was a way to get logging out of the command that would help to identity when it fails to properly update components, that would also help.

Thanks,
Eliyah

scm login -r https://JazzHost:9443/jazz/ -u myUser -P myPass -n myRepository

scm accept -r myRepository -s "mySourceStream" -t "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace"

scm login -r https://JazzHost:9443/jazz/ -u myUser -P myPass -n myRepository

scm workspace replace-components --all --overwrite-uncommitted --baseline "myBaseline1" "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace" stream "mySourceStream" -r myRepository

scm load -r myRepository "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace" -d C:\Temp\Path_1 --force

scm logout -r myRepository

Hi

The replace-components is probably not meant for replacing the workspace code with the latest in a Stream. This is how we do things:

To replace your repository workspace with the latest code available in the stream, use the following:

scm login -r https://JazzHost:9443/jazz/ -u myUser -P myPass -n myRepository

scm accept -r myRepository -s "mySourceStream" -t "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace"

To replace your repository workspace with a BASELINE available in the source stream, use the following:

scm login -r https://JazzHost:9443/jazz/ -u myUser -P myPass -n myRepository

scm workspace replace-components --all --overwrite-uncommitted --baseline "myBaseline1" "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace" stream "mySourceStream" -r myRepository

To load your repository workspace updated above on your local machine, use the following:

scm load -r myRepository "myTargetRepositoryWorkspace" -d C:\Temp\Path_1 --force

To logout,use

scm logout -r myRepository

Hope this helps!
Thanks

Hi

Details on my RTC environment:

Jazz Team Server 1.0.0.2 iFix 2 (I20100331-2220)
Rational Team Concert - 2.0.0.2 iFix 2 (I20100331-2220)

I created a build stream and the build workspace that flows from it. Build stream has 5 components which have been added from their parent streams. I need to get the latest code delvered to the components in their parent streams. I opened the stream, used "Replace With" button, selected "Component in another repository workspace or stream" and selected the parent stream. I noticed it doesn't always replace the components in the build stream with the latest changes from the parent stream. The builds fail when the workspace doesn't get the latest delivered code on alll the components.

It works fine with certain components, for other components there are changes delivered 2 days back that don't get updated in the build stream.

Is this a known problem ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
NP

Hi Narayan

Well, I cant say that I understood the problem completely, but let me try to help a little. Replace component will need to be done each time you make a build. As an example, let me explain my scenario.
I have a Stream (ST), my repository workspace (RW) and my local workspace on laptop (LW)

1. Development lead creates Baseline on his RW and then deliver it to ST.
2. During build the Build Coordinator takes this Baseline name and repalces the 'build' RW with the Baseline.
3. The 'replaced' RW is then loaded onto the LW.

All of these commands have been automated in an ANT script using the <exec> task. For example,

	<Target>

	<target>		

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		<echo>

		

		

		<if>

			<or>

				<not><isset></not>

				<equals>

			</or>

			<then>

				<echo>

				<fail>

			</then>

		</if>

This is exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks a lot for replying and giving the actual commands I can use in my ANT script. I'll test the commands with my ANT script.

I had understood it wrong and Thanks again !

Hi
I have a related question - is there a document or manual where I can find details of all RTC ANT tasks / commands ? I couldn't find it in RTC infocenter. If this is documented it'll be very helpful if someone can send me the links.

Thank You
NP
