Are there any new plugins or options to provide capability to do a string search across all projects/repositories?

Release : 12.6

Component : CA Harvest Software Change Manager

Answer is not in a direct fashion, like "-en *", but it can be done. Here's one way:

The "hsv" command line utility has an option "-wp" that can let you search all the files in a selected project for a word or phrase.

For example:
C:\Users\Administrator>hsv -b scm-broker -usr harvest -pw harvest -en "SampleProject" -vp "\\" -wp "main" -s "*" -wts -oa hsv.log

C:\Users\Administrator>type hsv.log

C:\Users\Administrator>

It can only search one project at a time, but here’s a Windows batch script that will run the same hsv command for a list of project names:

C:\Users\Administrator>type FindAllFiles.bat
echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

REM if there was a previous log file delete it
del hsv.log

REM save our SQL statement to a file so hsql can use it
echo select environmentname from harenvironment where envisactive = 'Y' > sql.txt

REM saving both the hsql statement and the hsv statement to environment variables to make the resulting "for" statement easier to read
set hsql_command=hsql -b scm-broker -usr harvest -pw harvest -nh -f sql.txt
set hsv_command=hsv -b scm-broker -usr harvest -pw harvest -vp "\\" -s "*" -wts -oa hsv.log -wp "main"

REM here's where we loop through the list of all the project names and run hsv to search through the files
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%i IN (`%hsql_command%`) DO (
echo. >> hsv.log
echo Project: %%i >> hsv.log
%hsv_command% -en "%%i"
)

REM display the result
type hsv.log

C:\Users\Administrator>FindAllFiles.bat

C:\Users\Administrator>echo off
