How to check out a Snaphot/Baseline version of a component?

Chris Graham (367●9●14) | asked Jan 04 '12, 10:05 p.m.
Hi All.

I am surprised (to say the least, shocked is more like it) that we are unable to check out/copy/load a specific snapshot/baseline/tag of a component!

If we are unable to so this, then what is the point of being able to create it???

One workaround, from what I can see is to create a new repository workspace of the components' baseline/snapshot and then check it out.

However, I can not work out how to do this from the scm command line.

This is what was used to create the snapshot to start with. 

scm create snapshot --repository-uri https://rtc:9444/jazz --username Deb --password Deb --name BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15 --description "[maven-release-plugin]  copy for tag BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15" BogusRepositoryWorkspace


So could any kind soul suggest as to how I can sue the scm command line to effectively check out (load in jazz scm terms) snapshot "BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15" of the code in the BogusRepositoryWorkspace?

Thanks!

-Chris

With some help from one of our friendly SCM's, thanks Chris (not me!), we get: 


scm create workspace BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15 --repository-uri https://rtc:9444/jazz --username Deb --password Deb --snapshot BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15


which, when executed, returned: 

C:\>scm create workspace BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15 --repository-uri https://rtc:9444/jazz --username Deb --password Deb --snapshot BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15

Workspace (1034) "BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15" successfully created


:-)

So, then we can execute this to check out the newly created Repository Workspace "BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15": 


scm load --repository-uri https://rtc:9444/jazz --username Deb --password Deb --force --dir C:\tmp\maven BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15


And, when executed, shows: 


C:\>scm load --repository-uri https://rtc:9444/jazz --username Deb --password Deb --force --dir C:\tmp\maven BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.15

Downloading /BogusTest/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs  (629 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/zip-for-release-no-deps.xml  (427 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/.classpath  (320 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/.project  (385 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/test.txt  (12 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/.jazzignore  (733 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/src/main/java/Blah.java  (219 B)

Downloading /BogusTest/pom.xml  (4.2 KB)



C:\>


The only problem here, and it's not strictly, a jazz issue (ClearCase has the same issue) is that maven will expect the pom.xml file the /tmp/maven dir (given the above example), not the /tmp/maven/BogusTest dir.

So, we're getting there.

In 3.0.1.1, it is:
scm create workspace --snapshot <snapshot>
scm load <workspace-name.

The reason you are asked to create a workspace first is that this tells
RTC to create the metadata so that it can efficiently update your loaded
files in subsequent load requests.

Cheers,
Geoff
