How to download code from RTC using command line? - rtc

I need to download my source code from Rtc using command line ? Is there any command available to perform this activity?

Assuming you already have a repository workspace, then the CLI command would be scm load. Documentation is here.
To load into the current directory:
scm login -r https://server.com:9443/jazz -u user -P password -n repoNickname
scm load -r repoNickname "Workspace Name"
If the workspace name is not unique in the server, you can try the list workspace command to look for workspaces owned by you:
scm list workspaces -r repoNickname -c userName
The results will contain an alias which can be used in place of the workspace name in the load command. Alternatively you can find the UUID for your workspace by finding your workspace in the web UI and taking note of the url which will contain the workspace UUID.

Move workspace to different stream in Accurev CLI

Accurev CLI documentation does not mention any command to move workspace from one stream to another without the need of creating a new workspace.
Look in manual at the "accurev chws" command
Try running this command:
accurev chws -w "workspace name" -b "name of new backing stream"
Once complete, you will need to update your workspace:
accurev update

RTC commands to extract files with an unique idenfier

Is there a way to extract files using RTC CLI by providing just a unique identifier (like workitem #?) and not provide the workspace UUID/name?
The following commands:
lscm list changesets -u username -r URL:9443/ccm -W 70
Change sets:
(1187
lscm list changes -u username -r URL:9443/ccm -j 1187
"changes": [
{
"author":
...
"path": "/unresolved/DeployFile1",
...
lscm get change 1187 /DeployFile1 -u username -r URL:9443/ccm /DeployFile1
Problem running 'get change':
Unable to determine workspace. Specify workspace. Try 'lscm help get change' for more information.
don't work as the last command is unable to determine the workspace.
We have a deployment tool that is supposed to query RTC and grab the file(s) based on user provided input (workitem # in this case). We want to keep it simple for the users and don't want to ask for workitem UUID and workspace UUID.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Subversion export/checkout in Dockerfile without printing the password on screen

I want to write a Dockerfile which exports a directory from a remote Subversion repository into the build context so I can work with these files in subsequent commands. The repository is secured with user/password authentication.
That Dockerfile could look like this:
# base image
FROM ubuntu
# install subversion client
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y subversion
# export my repository
RUN svn export --username=myUserName --password=myPassword http://subversion.myserver.com/path/to/directory
# further commands, e.g. on container start run a file just downloaded from the repository
CMD ["/bin/bash", "path/to/file.sh"]
However, this has the drawback of printing my username and password on the screen or any logfile where the stdout is directed, as in Step 2 : RUN svn export --username=myUserName --password=myPassword http://subversion.myserver.com/path/to/directory. In my case, this is a Jenkins build log which is also accessible by other people who are not supposed to see the credentials.
What would be the easiest way to hide the echo of username and password in the output?
Until now, I have not found any way how to execute RUN commands in a Dockerfile silently when building the image. Could the password maybe be imported from somewhere else and attached to the command beforehand so it does not have to be printed anymore? Or are there any methods for password-less authentication in Subversion that would work in the Dockerfile context (in terms of setting them up without interaction)?
The Subversion Server is running remotely in my company and not on my local machine or the Docker host. To my knowledge, I have no access to it except for accessing my repository via username/password authentication, so copying any key files as root to some server folders might be difficult.
The Dockerfile RUN command is always executed and cached when the docker image is build so the variables that svn needs to authenticate must be provided at build time. You can move the svn export call when the docker run is executed in order to avoid this kind of problems. In order to do that you can create a bash script and declare it as a docker entrypoint and pass environment variables for username and password. Example
# base image
FROM ubuntu
ENV REPOSITORY_URL http://subversion.myserver.com/path/to/directory
# install subversion client
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y subversion
# make it executable before you add it here otherwise docker will coplain
ADD docker-entrypoint.sh /enrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT /entrypoint.sh
docker-entrypoint.sh
#!/bin/bash
# maybe here some validation that variables $REPO_USER $REPO_PASSOWRD exists.
svn export --username="$REMOTE_USER" --password="$REMOTE_PASSWORD" "$REPOSITORY_URL"
# continue execution
path/to/file.sh
Run your image:
docker run -e REPO_USER=jane -e REPO_PASSWORD=secret your/image
Or you can put the variables in a file:
.svn-credentials
REPO_USER=jane
REPO_PASSWORD=secret
Then run:
docker run --env-file .svn-credentials your/image
Remove the .svn-credentials file when your done.
Maybe using SVN with SSH is a solution for you? You could generate a public/private key pair. The private key could be added to the image whereas the public key gets added to the server.
For more details you could have a look at this stackoverflow question.
One solution is to ADD the entire SVN directory you previously checked out on your builder file-system (or added as a svn:externals if your Dockerfile is itself in a SVN repository like this: svn propset svn:externals 'external_svn_directory http://subversion.myserver.com/path/to/directory' ., then do a svn up).
Then in your Dockerfile you can simply have this:
ADD external_svn_directory /tmp/external_svn_directory
RUN svn export /tmp/external_svn_directory /path/where/to/export/to
RUN rm -rf /tmp/external_svn_directory
Subversion stores authentication details (if it not disabled in configuration) at client side and use stored username|password on request for the subsequent operations on the same URL.
Thus - you have to run (successful) svn export in Dockerfile with username|password only once and allow SVN to use cached credentials (remove auth. options from command-line) later

How to know in Accurev that element is modified on other streams

I can use accurev wip command to find the element changed in other workspaces.
How can I know in Accurev CLI (or GUI) that the element is modified on other streams, not workspaces?
You will need to create a script to obtain this info.
Basically you will run the command:
accurev show -p -fxg -s "Stream Name" -R streams
You will parse this list looking for "hasDefaultGroup="true"".
For each stream that matches, execute the 'accurev stat -d -s' command.

How To Upload Files on GitHub

I have recently downloaded GitHub and created a repository on it. I am trying to upload an Objective C project in it. How do I go about doing this?
I didn't find the above answers sufficiently explicit, and it took me some time to figure it out for myself. The most useful page I found was:
http://www.lockergnome.com/web/2011/12/13/how-to-use-github-to-contribute-to-open-source-projects/
I'm on a Unix box, using the command line. I expect this will all work on a Mac command line. (Mac or Window GUI looks to be available at desktop.github.com but I haven't tested this, and don't know how transferable this will be to the GUI.)
Step 1: Create a Github account
Step 2: Create a new repository, typically with a README and LICENCE file created in the process.
Step 3: Install "git" software.
(Links in answers above and online help at github should suffice to do these steps, so I don't provide detailed instructions.)
Step 4: Tell git who you are:
git config --global user.name "<NAME>"
git config --global user.email "<email>"
I think the e-mail must be one of the addresses you have associated with the github account. I used the same name as I used in github, but I think (not sure) that this is not required. Optionally you can add caching of credentials, so you don't need to type in your github account name and password so often. https://help.github.com/articles/caching-your-github-password-in-git/
Create and navigate to some top level working directory:
mkdir <working>
cd <working>
Import the nearly empty repository from github:
git clone https://github.com/<user>/<repository>
This might ask for credentials (if github repository is not 'public'.)
Move to directory, and see what we've done:
cd <repository>
ls -a
git remote -v
(The 'ls' and 'git remote' commands are optional, they just show you stuff)
Copy the 10000 files and millions of lines of code that you want to put in the repository:
cp -R <path>/src .
git status -s
(assuming everything you want is under a directory named "src".) (The second command again is optional and just shows you stuff)
Add all the files you just copied to git, and optionally admire the the results:
git add src
git status -s
Commit all the changes:
git commit -m "<commit comment>"
Push the changes
git push origin master
"Origin" is an alias for your github repository which was automatically set up by the "git clone" command. "master" is the branch you are pushing to. Go look at github in your browser and you should see all the files have been added.
Optionally remove the directory you did all this in, to reclaim disk space:
cd ..
rm -r <working>
Well, there really is a lot to this. I'm assuming you have an account on http://github.com/. If not, go get one.
After that, you really can just follow their guide, its very simple and easy and the explanation is much more clear than mine: http://help.github.com/ >> http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/
To answer your specific question: You upload files to github through the git push command after you have added your files you needed through git add 'files' and commmited them git commit -m "my commit messsage"
You need to create a git repo locally, add your project files to that repo, commit them to the local repo, and then sync that repo to your repo on github. You can find good instructions on how to do the latter bit on github, and the former should be easy to do with the software you've downloaded.
To upload files to your repo without using the command-line, simply type this after your repository name in the browser:
https://github.com/yourname/yourrepositoryname/upload/master
and then drag and drop your files.(provided you are on github and the repository has been created beforehand)
Here are the steps (in-short), since I don't know what exactly you have done:
1. Download and install Git on your system: http://git-scm.com/downloads
2. Using the Git Bash (a command prompt for Git) or your system's native command prompt, set up a local git repository.
3. Use the same console to checkout, commit, push, etc. the files on the Git.
Hope this helps to those who come searching here.

If you want to upload a folder or a file to Github
1- Create a repository on the Github
2- make: git remote add origin "Your Link" as it is described on the Github
3- Then use git push -u origin master.
4- You have to enter your username and Password.
5- After the authentication, the transfer will start
