RTC: Import SVN dump file in command line.

Hi is it possible to import a SVN dump file using command line? I would like to automate an incremental dump import, and I was thinking this could be a solution.

Partial dump files are also not supported. Any solution you come up with at the moment will be limited by this. The importer can handle only importing what's changed since the last full dump but the subsequent import will still require the full dump file.

Here my 2 cent:

Like the other import capabilities, this is controlled in an Eclipse wizard. I would assume the API code therefore is in the Eclipse client and not part of the Plain Java client Libraries. It is also most likely not in any of the command line tools.

You could use an approach as described by Jorge in http://jorgediazblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/custom-bugzilla-importer-for-non-consecutive-bug-ids/ to create your own wizard or menu that reads a file in Eclipse and then calls the internal classes with data from that file.

yes Please.  This would be very useful for importing incremental svn dumps.

Hi, any comments on this? I have many very large dump files (with lot of tags and branches ) to import from SVN and I would like to automate the process from the command line.

I know each branch has to be imported as a different step, but at least if I could create a batch script it will simplify the process instead of manually using the GUI.

Thanks,

I agree with Ralph.
Except that I believe that it is good RFE. Feel free to create it if you need that: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational Team Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem&type=enhancement
