I have a hierarchical project that has changed its structure between versions. I presently have a production version called "pro1" and a development version called "int1". Neither were under source control before now, and I am trying to make a single source tree while also preserving the old ("pro1") and new ("int1") hierarchy. In the new hierarchy, some levels have been pruned; other levels added; and some levels have added and/or modified files. My approach so far is to establish a starting point as if all the files in the "pro1" version had been checked-out before int1 was developed. Then treat int1 as if it were developed normally and checked-in as a new release. This is a php project and the structure is important to capture and maintain, but I am aiming to keep the deployed system from being sloppy -- carrying forward an old and new structure... What I have done to set this up so far is listed below. Right now I am exploring the forum for anyone who may have a way to merge/prune the structure so that when I check-out a Label, I only get the new structure, and none of the old structure.

Created new project called FOO_Code.
Added all content of original hierarchy to the project.
Assigned a project-level Label: "pro1" to FOO_Code.
Checked-out entire project into new working folder: dev1
Merged new hierarchy and changed/added files into dev1.
Checked-In all of the contents of the hierarchy.
Assigned project-level Label: "int1"

I envision the solution should be where the old and new structures are possibly created as separate projects, Labeling the old and new project as pro1 and int1, respectively. The somehow merging the two projects; or similar... Any ideas?

Hi Bojames,


Getting the project by the 2nd label "int1" will get all files including files that should only be in the old structure.

The below approach might work better:

1. Create a new project called "Foo_code";
2. Designate this project as a "Web project" and put in the destination (FTP) info (SAWH server manager->Repositories->{current repository}->Web projects). Please refer to:
http://www.dynamsoft.com/help/SAW%20Hosted/Server%20Manager/Database/Repositories/Web%20Projects.htm
3. Open the client, go to Tools->Wildcard Search and put the right Check In dates (the time that the files belonging to the new structure were checked in);
4. In the "Search Result" window, choose the files of the new structure (probably all of them) and click on "Web Deploy" and the wanted files will be copied/uploaded to the destination (FTP) you specified for this project.
5. Thus only the files plus the new structure of the project are available for deployment.
