PTC Integrity to get the latest code from repository

Question

how to get the latest version of code from the MKS repository ??

using MKS commands

Answer 1

To get last version of a project from mks repository, first you should create a sandbox and then you can resync the sandbox with server.

To create a sandbox use the command si createsandbox si createsandbox --project=%mks_Project% -R -Y %sandboxLocation% this command will create a sandbox of project from normal line. If you work on devpath then you should add --devpath=%projectDevpath% on the command

To resync a sandbox use the command si resync --sandbox=%sandboxName%. e.g. si resync --sandbox="D:/sandbox/project1/project.pj"

Please be sure you replace all fields between % this the proper value. Depending of your server configuration, the command cand be diferent.
