Options
Option / Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| --changeset | Updates the partial workspace to a specific changeset. |
| --silent | No output is shown unless an error happens. |
| --xml | Prints the output in XML format to the standard output. It is possible to specify an output file. |
| --report | Prints a list of the applied changes when the command is finished. Using '--silent' will override this setting. |
| --dontmerge | Does not merge the file conflicts, it just skips them. The other changes are properly applied. This option can be useful for automation to avoid user interaction. |
| --machinereadable | Outputs the result in an easy-to-parse format. --startlineseparator Used with the '--machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should start. |
| --endlineseparator | Used with the '--machinereadable' flag, specifies how the lines should end. |
| --fieldseparator | Used with the '--machinereadable' flag, specifies how the fields should be separated. |
| item_path | Items to be updated. Use double quotes (" ") to specify paths containing spaces. Use a whitespace to separate paths. Use . to apply update to current directory. If no path is specified, then the current partial workspace is fully updated. |

Remarks
The 'partial update' command updates the out-of-date files. The command assumes recursive operation. If all the specified paths are files inside the same Xlink when using the '--changeset' option, then the versions to download are searched in the specified changeset of the Xlinked repository.Examples
(Updates all in the current partial workspace.)cm partial update
(Updates all current directory children items.)cm partial update .
(Updates 'backgroud-blue.png' item.)cm partial update backgroud-blue.png
(Updates 'soft_black.png' and 'soft-grey.png' items.)cm partial update soft_black.png soft-grey.png
(Updates all 'src' directory children items, printing the applied changes list at the end.)cm partial update src --report
(Updates all 'src' directory children items to the content they loaded in the changeset 4.)cm partial update src --changeset=4
(Updates 'xlink/first.png' item to the content it loaded in the changeset 4 of the Xlinked repository.)cm partial update xlink/first.png --changeset=4
(Updates all current directory children items to the content they loaded in the changeset 2, reporting the result in XML format. The output is stored in a file named 'output.xml' and errors are redirected to the file 'errors.txt'. NOTE: redirection syntax rely on the shell.)cm partial update . --changeset=2 --xml=output.xml 2>errors.txt
