When Mover transfers files from Version Manager, it actually runs a PCLI command to get the files out of VM. One tricky area is how the Version Manager login sources are used by Mover.
After setting up a Source for Dimensions that moves a Baseline or a Workset, the files are not transferred from subfolders. The default setting of * in the Filename option only transfers files from the current folder and not subfolders.
The following error shows in the mover activity log. Starting to execute pre- transfer command for source: IDR.MB.SourceFolder.VM Successfully executing command: "D:/Program Files/Serena/ChangeMan Mover/vm/runvmcm.bat" -v D:/cmsessions/Sessions/NASTask8/25.xml
Getting the following error during move. Starting to execute pre- transfer command for source: 058_RXP_PDB_Properties Successfully executing command: /opt/mover/changemanmover/vm/runvmcm.sh -v "/pvcs/changemanmover/cmsessions//Sessions/NASTask0/25.xml"
After you install the Version Manager 8.0 - 8.1 daylight savings patch on a Windows 2003 Server that uses Mover, deploys will fail with the following error messages: Starting to execute pre- transfer command for root: Successfully executing command: "C:/Merant/Merant Mover/vm/runvmcm.bat" -v C:/cmsessions/Sessions/NASTask0/59.xml
A post- transfer command will need to be setup to remove the unwanted parent folder tree. This example is for Mover on Windows, but could be modified for other platforms.
