Teamsite Command Line Tools Manual. Search for Workarea and you will find a number of CLT's that are Workarea specific.

What is "srcbranchvpath" supposed to be?
Have you bothered to look up the usage of iwmkwa in either the CLT manual or just by running it with the '-h' flag?
That argument is supposed to be the name of an edition on the current branch to use as the basis for the content within the workarea.

I do not believe that there is any single command that will do what you want - you need to first create the workarea you want on the branch you want it to be on (iwmkwa) and then copy the contents of the source-workarea to the target-workarea (iwupdate) - please read the documentation for both commands.

Note: If any of the arguments to iwmkwa contain spaces - you need to make sure that the entire argument is enclosed within quotes, e.g.:

iwmkwa branch waname "Some Comment" ....

hi,
thanks for the immediate response,but the problem is iwmkwa is not showing any result i tried even with -h.the srcpath mentioned in the command is the source branch vpath from where it is being copied. i have given that in the place of "base_ed" mentioned in the command of iwmkwa.what should be given for base_ed in the below command

"iwmkwa [-h|-v] branchvpath waname comment base_ed [ownerid [groupid]] "

here i have given as follows:

new branch vpath ... branchvpath
new workarea name ... waname
comment.... comment
sourcevpath .... base_ed
username ... ownerid
groupid fetched from iwattrib (of the source workarea) .... groupid

are these correct or anything has to be changed.iam new to teamsite please help out
thanks

base_ed is the name of an edition on the current branch - if all else fails try using:[indent]INITIAL[/indent]iwmkwa does not copy the contents of a workarea on one branch to a workarea on another branch - in fact it does not copy the contents of a workarea, period. It creates a workarea with a specified owner and an optionally specified group for sharing, with the specified name and based off of the specified edition - all in the specified branch-vpath.

Take your time, read the manuals, look at the output from using '-h' with the CLTs - and re-read my previous response.
