My conern/question lies with the config file which requires paths to the svn repository as well as svnadmin.exe. Are these only necessary if using the “load” mode? Will it still work corectly if I leave these fields blank or invalid?

Thanks

  • If you’re running it in a dynamic view, you don’t need to mess with the script, just set up your config file and run it.

  • No need to run this on your ’source server’, just set up a dynamic view on your local box and run it there.

I think you answered my question... I actually want to run it on in a dynamic view... I was just trying to run it on my local box in a snapshot view before running it in a dynamic view on my source server, just to see how it works... I do have a couple more questions... Do I have to modify the cc2svn.pl script, or can I just run it as is after putting the correct values for my dynamic view in my cc2svn.yml config file...??? Also, I think I already know the answer to my next question, but I just need confirmation... I have to install the SVN server on my source server in order for the cc2svn.pl script to work, correct...???</p> <p>I went through the script, and what I gather from it is it pulls the files from CC, converts them to SVN format, then dumps them into an SVN repository that gets created during the execution of the script, correct...??? If you could answer these question for me I really appreciate it, as I have a conversion that I need to have done by this coming Wednesday (July 16, 2008)... Also, if you could give me any information you have that you think can help me with this I'd surely appreciate it... Thanks again...</p> Thanks… I think you answered my question… I actually want to run it on in a dynamic view… I was just trying to run it on my local box in a snapshot view before running it in a dynamic view on my source server, just to see how it works… I do have a couple more questions… Do I have to modify the cc2svn.pl script, or can I just run it as is after putting the correct values for my dynamic view in my cc2svn.yml config file…???
