Move data from one branch to another branch

rajnag

can any one tell me how to move files from one branch to another brach using WF upon approval.

Eg. Brach A : workarea A (I have to move the files to ) Branch B
:Workarea A using workflow

If Branch A workarea A (ex x.html file ) file is approved then the file
x.html have to go Branch B: workarea A.

sorry I didn't get you

What James meant is that you should read about the "Update" task in the TeamSite Workflow Developer's Guide. That task type can be used to copy files from one area to another.

I did with update task, Workflow is not giving any error,but the content is not moved from one WA to another WA(differenct branch -- in this branch WA is empty after ran WF).

The updatetask is used to move *specific* files from one workarea to another. Those files need to be 'attached' to the task.

An updatetask without assoc'ed files will do nothing. If you need to copy an entire area, you'll likely want to use the iwupdate CLT or something like that.

I use update task to copy attached files(in workflow) to another branch,
but i need to check the attached files are locked or unlock,
i just know use command iwfilestate -f script -i <vpath>
then i get a lot of information,but i just want to check If these files are locked then I will use mail task mail to the jobowner,
If the attached files are unlocked ,I want to use upate task to copy these files to another area.
Any solution? Thanks.

There are no built-ins for your questsion.

The following is an approach I've used in the past. Still using actually

Solution Path
1 Have an external task do all of the filestate checking
2 if a condition you don't want occurs then transition to an email task.
2a Then transition to a user/group task for retry or remediation.
3 If there are no locked files then transition to an update task.
