Issue/Introduction
When trying to do a "hco" command on the Linux platform, the log file shows that it tries to checkout file names from my current working directory, but does not find those files in the Harvest repository. For example:
Here is my current working directory:
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ ls
hgetusg.log oradiag_cascm scripts set_env.sh
Here is my hco command:
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ hco -o "hco.log" -b "example-broker" -en "SampleProject" -st "Development" -usr "*******" -pw "*******" -vp "/SampleRepository" -br -s * -r -op pc -cp "SampleRepository"
And here is the result in my hco.log file:
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ cat hco.log
I00060040: New connection with Broker example-broker established.

Environment
Harvest Software Change Manager v14.x and higher
Linux/Unix platforms only
Cause
When trying to reproduce the same error on Windows we could not. But on Linux and Unix, the operating system handles the command line parameters differently.
The rule on both Windows and Linux/Unix is to always put double-quotes around any value containing spaces or special characters when building a command line. In the example command above, the value for the "-s" parameter is listed as an asterisk without double quotes
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ hco -o "hco.log" -b "example-broker" -en "SampleProject" -st "Development" -usr "*******" -pw "*******" -vp "/SampleRepository" -br -s * -r -op pc -cp "SampleRepository"
Resolution
Placing double quotes around the asterisk causes the command to work correctly:
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ hco -o "hco.log" -b "example-broker" -en "SampleProject" -st "Development" -usr "harvest" -pw "harvest" -vp "/SampleRepository" -br -s "*" -r -op pc -cp "SampleRepository"
[example-user@example-broker ~]$ cat hco.log
I00060040: New connection with Broker example-broker established.
