Running View Compare/Merge from the Command-line

The View Compare/Merge Utility (VCMUtility) is a command-line utility that compares a source StarTeam view to a target view, and optionally merges the differences into the target view.

To run the View Compare/Merge command-line utility (VCMUtility), do the following:

  1. Open a command window and go to the StarTeam installation root folder.
  2. Type VCMUtility, followed by any desired options.

    VCMUtility [<options file>] [options]

    Tip: To see a list of all available commands and options, type VCMUtility —help in the command window.

Note: You can provide options in the specified <options file> (as the first parameter), command-line arguments, or both. Command-line arguments override any options found in the <options file>. In the <options file>, start option names in column 1 and exclude the leading “–”.
