scm load insists on loading into sandbox root <C:\> bu

Guowei Jim Hu (1.0k●9●103●53) | asked Sep 01 '10, 11:40 a.m.
Explored the scmtools on Windows and got stuck with load after successfully creating new repository workspace:

C:\>lscm create workspace -r ghu scmtools_workspace -s "Operational Infrastructure Team Stream"
Workspace (1009) "scmtools_workspace" successfully created

Verify the workspace has been creatred by listing it::
C:\>lscm -a y list workspaces -r ghu
(1009) "scmtools_workspace"

But can't load it into any place other than C:\, which I don't want to:

Checked scm help load:
workspace-path
Files and folders from the specified workspace will be loaded into this path name. The path name is created if it does not already exist. If this option is omitted, scm load creates a new local folder as a subdirectory of the current working directory. The new folder has the name of the specified workspace.

Based on that, I assume I can specify any directory to load to on my local drive but I can't:

C:\>lscm load scmtools_workspace -d c:\scmtools_workspace -r ghu
Problem running 'load':
Must load in sandbox root (C:\). To load into a descendent specify the path with target.

I tried wihtout the -d option but it doesn't create a new local folder as a subdirectory of the current working directory as it just tried to load all the folders in the component under C:\, failed because of the name confliction.

Eventually I tried to use -i option to load component roots as directories in the filesystem and it worked:
C:\>lscm load scmtools_workspace -i -r ghu


How has the sandbox root been decided? Could it be changed?
Why scm load -d doesn't work as it is documented? Should I raise a bug for it?

And I don't find unload command so how do I unload a loaded workspace as in Eclipse Client?

Hw do I delete/remove a workspace created via scmtools?

I am told that Do not use Rational Team Concert source control command line tools to work in an Eclipse workspace.

But can I work on scmtools workspace via Eclipse client so I can unload or delete them?

-d option should create the directory if one does not exist. The error "Must load in sandbox root" happens if you have already run a load on a directory (say c:\test, which will be set as the sandbox root) and run another load and specified a directory below the earlier loaded directory (say c:\test\abc).

When you use the -i option, it will create the component names as folders under the directory.

There is no command in scm cli to unload a workspace. All you have to do is delete the workspace directory manually.

The sandbox root will have a directory called .jazz5. If you delete that directory scm will stop recognizing that directory as its workspace.

Thanks.
I verified that after manually removing the C:\jazz5 folder and the loaded componet folders under, I can use scm load to get my repository workspace loaded into a folder I specify using -d.

Is this documented somewhere in RTC documentation?

If not it would be helpful to others to add it in next release.

Problems occurred running sharing projects.

Reason:The workspace directory 'C:\' is contained within sandbox 'C:\' which is not supported
