Our QA server is CA SCM R12 FP2. I created a one action workflow that performs hco from the entire repository ( -vp / -br -s "*" )
It errors out. Upon review, all the files checked out. I looked at the hco.log, and there is indeed an error, an E line claiming file.ext;2 is deleted.
Why is hco trying to check out removed items? New glitch in FP2 perhaps? Has anyone else seen this?
Additionally, I have R7 GA and R12 FP2 coexisting on my machine at the same time.
Yes, you'll see this glitch all the way throughout the lifecycles. If you are using the CA plugin for the "Update from CA SCM type", the simplest answer is to spell out the -nt option (no tags) in the HCO Options field of the form.
If you're using the Mojo plugin to run an "Execute shell script" to run the checkout from a batch or shell script, just add the -nt option to the command-line in your script.
The -nt option will just ignore everything other than the Normal tag and you'll get an error-free check out.
