Get All Latest Via Automation Interface - JAVA

[perry]

Is there a way to perform the equivalent of a "Get All Latest" via the automation interface?

Manually, the process is:

1. Open EA
2. Open The Project
3. Right click the top level ("Model" in my case)
4. Highlight Package Control
5. Select Get All Latest

Steps 1 and 2 are no problem, I just need some help with automating the rest.

Thanks

I don't think there is a getAllLatest command in the API.
There are however two workarounds that you can use:
1:
- Programmatically connect to the VC and download the latest version into your working folder.
- Use the Project Interface.LoadControlledPackage to get the latest version of your packages

2:
- Loop over all version controlled packages and perform a Package.VersionControlCheckout and a Package.VersionControlCheckin

Thanks for the suggestions.
I haven't quite got it yet...

For now I am having another user add a package to the model, and trying to automatically update my project so that I can see the new package (as well as any changes that may have been made to the pre-existing packages)

Using the first workaround you listed:
I can execute "svn update" from the from the command line via JAVA no problem. (if i show the output, i can see that the new package (test.xml) is being added - so I know that it has been downloaded fom the server)
Then I tried to run a Project Interface.LoadControlledPackage - passing in the ProjectGUID as the argument. This didn't work. When I open EA manually and load the project, the new Package ("Test") is not there.. As soon as I right-click Model (the top level in my project browser) and do a 'Get All Latest', Test shows up just fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Perry
