How can I add a file to a project using the command line (STCMD)
Question:
How do I add a file to a project or view using the command line?
Answer:
First, make sure the command line function can be run from the
system path. Open a Windows command line: Start --> Run -->
CMD Type stcmd and hit enter. If a message is returned that it
cannot find this command, then navigate within the command line
window to the StarTeam client installation folder (normally,
C:\Program files\Borland\StarTeam Cross Patform Client 2006) and
enter stcmd. If this does not work, then please contact Technical
Support.
After you have verified that you can use STCMD, you can add a file
using the following method:
Use stcmd add to add files to a project from the command
line.
You can simultaneously link the added files to a process item. All
the files successfully added using this command will be linked and
pinned to the tip revision of the process item. Use the -active
option to specify the currently active process item (previously set
using a StarTeam client on your workstation). If no item is active
or you prefer to use another item, use the option that indicates
the type of the process item (-cr, -req, or -task), followed by the
complete path from the root folder of the StarTeam project view to
the item. Use the -mark option to simultaneously mark the process
item as fixed, finished, or complete, depending on its type. For
example, a change request can be marked as fixed. The item is not
marked as fixed, finished, or complete unless all the files are
successfully added.
The syntax for this command is as follows:
stcmd add -p "projectSpecifier" [-pwdfile
"filePath"] [-cmp] [-csf] [-encrypt encryptionType] [-is]
[-q] [-x] [-stop] [-rp "folderPath" | -fp
"folderPath"] [- l | -u | -nel] [-ro | -rw][-d
"description"] [-vl "labelName"] [-eol [on |
off]] [-files...]
