How to use iwupdate in TeamSite 7.3.1

syim

Hi,

We used to be able to use Command-Line Tool, iwupdate, to revert a file from a particular workarea in TeamSite 6.5. For example, we used be able to revert a file from wa1 using following command:

/iw-home/bin/iwupdate /default/main/br1/STAGING /default/main/br1/WORKAREA/wa1/file.xml

However, the same command in TeamSite 7.3.1 behave differently now. Instead of revert the specified file, it revert all files modified in WORKAREA wa1 instead.

Anyone know if the syntax for iwupdate is different in TS 7.3.1? Or iwupdate can only update the whole workarea instead of just one file?

Thanks
Susan

/iw-home/bin/iwupdate /default/main/br1/STAGING /default/main/br1/WORKAREA/wa1/file.xml

I don't have a server in front of me but double-checking the manual, I'd say the above command is wrong. The first argument to iwupdate should be a full vpath to a file or workarea, the second argument should generally just be a path to an area (though it can be a path to a file if the relative portions of the source and target paths are identical).

You are specifying a general path as the first argument - which means that the explicit path you're providing for the second argument is probably being ignored and thus it is attempting to update everything from the staging area into the workarea - as opposed to what you wanted - which I believe would be:

/iw-home/bin/iwupdate /default/main/br1/STAGING/file.xml /default/main/br1/WORKAREA/wa1
