ChangeBlockGenerator

Change Block Generator

The Change Block Generator command line tool moves all revisions of the change requests associated with a specified release (i.e a change block) into a new directory so that it can be zipped up and uploaded to the DIS EWG file library.

By using the -n option a report will be generated showing which files will be moved to the target directory (and whether there are any missing files)

Usage

ChangeBlockGenerator -f PathToStatusFile -k WorksheetName -s SourceDirectory -t TargetDirectory [-n]

Command Line Parameters

Parameter	Description
-h	Display help
-l	Display license
-f (..)	CR Status file name
-k (..)	Worksheet name
-n	No action (generates report only)
-s (..)	Source Directory
-t (..)	Target Directory (default "./temp")
