Issue/Introduction
I am trying to "Synchronize" multiple packages to the server. Usually, I select 1 package at a time. Is there a way to synchronize multiple packages? I tried a selecting multiple packages but I will only highlight one package at a time. There are packages in "Migration" state that I would like to sync.
Environment
Harvest Software Change Manager v12.x and higher
Resolution
The way to synchronize multiple packages is not by selecting them all and selecting Check Out. In my test I don't even get the Check Out process when I do that.
Instead, the command to use to do this is the "hsync" command. Here's where you can read more about this: hsync Command-Synchronize Directory from View Path
What you'll do is set up a stand-alone UDP, similar to this:
The command you would put in the "Program" field to synchronize multiple directories to a folder on your local machine is:
hsync -b [broker] -en [project] -st [state] -vp "\SampleRepository" -cp "C:\Temp" -usr [user] -pw [password] -sy -av
If you want to synchronize to another computer where the Harvest Agent is running is:
hsync -b [broker] -en [project] -st [state] -vp "\SampleRepository" -cp "C:\Temp" -usr [user] -pw [password] -sy -av -rm <remote hostname> -rport <remote host port> -rusr <remote login user> -rpw <remote login password>
Then you can select multiple packages and run the "Synchronize" process to do the check out:
Additional Information
You should also read this section of the online documentation to get more details about using hsync, and a "wrapper" utility called hrefresh that lets you keep the synchronization details for multiple projects all in one configuration file.
