Please could someone tell me how to check out a file (with no-lock)
Please could someone tell me how to check in a file.
I cant get my hands on any command line doc for pvcs. Does anyone have
a link to an electronic copy.
Thanks

Here is some commandline I have passed in programs before:
(ignore the #VARIBLES#, I was using these as place holders for variables)
Checkout w/o lock
pcli run -ae"ChkOut.log" -ao"ChkOut.log" -y
get -w -vVersion2.1.1 -a#WORK_DIR# -o -id#USER_ID#:#USER_PW# -pr#PROJECT_DB
# #PROJECT#
Checkout with lock
pcli run -ae"ChkOut.log" -ao"ChkOut.log" -y
get -vVersion2.1.1 -a#WORK_DIR# -o -id#USER_ID#:#USER_PW# -pr#PROJECT_DB#
#PROJECT#
-ae -ao puts the errors and output to a log file,
-y answers yes to any annoying pcli options
-w without lock
-v specifies the Label (if any) that you what to grab
-a specifies where to check it out too
-o tells PVCS that you are checking out somewhere else (other than project
settings)
-id passes the userid and passwd in the following form <username>:<password>
-pr is project
Checkin
pcli run -ae"ChkIn.log" -ao"ChkIn.log" -y put -m"Building-
Version2.1.1" -v"Version2.1.1":* -a#WORK_DIR# -o -bp#PROJECT# -id#USER_ID#:
#USER_PW# -pr#PROJECT_DB# #PROJECT#
these are mostly same
-m is the Message for the checkin log (need this)
-v is version (use this if you are using floating labels)
Another good place to answer questions is Merants SupportNet, you can find
it on their web site. Good Luck
Everyone -this is crap I haven't looked at in years, if there is something
wrong, please correct me -thanks

Ian, the commands are "get" and "put". Use them with -H to get help on usage.
