FolderToRootFolderConverter Tool
This tool replaces existing folders on a master or replica vault with root folders. The root folder uses the mount path of the folder as its mount path. A subfolder is created below the root folder mount path and any files present in the (old, converted) folder are moved to this subfolder.
You run this tool from a Windchill shell with the following command:
Windchill wt.fv.tools.FolderToRootFolderConverter
The user name and password for startup are the administrator credentials.
You can find a list of possible command line options by running the following command:
Windchill wt.fv.tools.FolderToRootFolderConverter -usage
To list existing vaults and folders, run the tool with one of the following options:
-listVaultsFolders
-listRemoteVaultsFolders
To convert folders to root folders, run the tool with the following option:
-vaults
For each folder of each vault passed in the following argument, the folder is unmounted and in each folder’s place, a new root folder is created with a root mount path corresponding to the original folder’s mount path.
Following is a list of valid arguments:
-user=<adminid>—User ID of the administrator user.
-password=<adminpassword>—Password of the administrator user.
-vaults=<vault1,vault2..>—Only folders in specified vaults are converted.
-listVaultsFolders—Directs the tool to print vault and folder names and then exit.
-listRemoteVaultsFolders—Directs the tool to print vault and folder names on remote site and then exit.
-usage—Directs the tool to print a list of valid arguments and then exit.
