Hi,
I am using the command line client in an attempt to script some commands and I'm having some difficulty. I already have a repository setup with multiple folders and files in it. What I want to be able to do is script some command that will automatically add any new files within the hierarchy without having to specify the full file name. For example if I have a folder in my repository named AAA with 2 files in it, BBB and CCC. If at some point in the future a new file gets created called DDD, I would like to be able to run something like an AddFolder command recursively and have it add the DDD file without me having to specify the file name since I won't know what the new file names are going to be when they're created. When I currently try to do an AddFolder command on a directory with files that are already in the repository it crashes on the first filename that is repeated. Is there a way to continue on error through the AddFolder command so that it will see that BBB and CCC are already in my repository, but then add the file named DDD?

Hi cmonkey11,

Sorry for the delay.

Our developers have confirmed that there is a problem with the command line client: when a folder is already in the repository and you try to add it again using AddFolder command, the client will give an error that the folder already exists and cease to add the newly added files in the folder.

Our developers are modifying the command line client in order to resolve the issue. When the new client is ready, I'll send it to you via your registered email address.

Hi cmonkey11,

After some tests, we found that the SCMAnywhere Standalone command line client scmscmd.exe can use the AddFolder command after check out/check in operations while the SourceAnywhere Standalone command line client SAWSCmd.exe doesn't support this feature.

If you're using SourceAnywhere Standalone, you can use a SDK application for synchronizing. You can download the SDK sample and the source code here.

If you're using SCMAnywhere Standalone, you can use the below commands for synchronizing.

1. scmscmd.exe checkoutfolder -server *** -port *** -username *** -pwd *** -teamproject default -folder $/backup -workdir "C:\backup" -r -skip

2. scmscmd.exe checkinfolder -server *** -port *** -username *** -pwd *** -teamproject default -folder $/backup

3. scmscmd.exe addfolder -server *** -port *** -username *** -pwd *** -teamproject default -folder $/ -workdir "C:\backup" -r
