URL command copy, wf update task?

I want to update a branch/workarea with files from an edition in another branch (code promotion).

Now I can do this with a workflow update task - only I need code to determine the file differences and attach them to the task (I can't use update/submit tasks on a whole area can I?.. anyone?)

I wanted to look into using the URL commands. The closest one that I saw for an update (CopyTo) was /iw-cc/copy - only it does not allow you to specify area's. They must be files or directories (below the area).

This was the message I got when trying to specify an area (EG STAGING)

......./STAGING is not a file. Only files and folders can be moved or copied

Now how would you do an area based update?.. Do I have to rip off the CopyTo command?...
/iw-cc/command/iw.ccpro.update_workarea

I think you can add the file "." to an updatetask, and I think that it will update the entire area. Give it a try.

Hope this helps.

Interesting... I'll try it out.

The update task is not the start task - I'll let you know what happens with the start task.

The "." did the trick.

Thanks - never even thought of it.
