iwsubmit and iwupdate options

wailing

Hi,

Does anybody know what's the difference between the -w and the -x option in these two CLTs? And when to add the -s option?

Thanks.

Hi,
There -x, -s and -w options specify different levels of severity for overwrite during submit or update.
I'll try to explain with an example

For iwupdate,
Consider a case where there are three files in your workarea,
f1 (version2+)
f2 (version1+)
f3 (not versioned, this is a new file in your workarea)

Staging has the following files
f1 (version2)
f2 (version2)

So, a compare between the workarea and staging will show f1 as modified, f2 in conflict and f3 as a new file.

If an update of the workarea is done (from staging), the -w option will delete f3, overwrite f2 and f1 with versions from staging.

doing an update with -s will overwrite f2 and f1 but will leave f3 untouched.

doing an update with -x will only overwrite f2 (which is in conflict) but will leave f2 and f3 untouched.

The same holds true for iwsubmit.
