Copy a directory including all files from a stream to another

Question

I would have a question related to copy directory's between streams in UCM.

For example I have 2 streams included in the same project, lets name streams A and B. Stream A was created a directory "my folder" which includes several sub directories and files. I want to copy directory "my folder" including the entire content to stream B.

Can someone help me? What alternative do I have?

With Merge Manager it's not working, because I have to choose which directory/files from Stream B to be merged(but "my folder" is on Stream A), to create new directory and files is not working because of "evil twin".

Answer 1

You need first to merge the parent folder which includes "my folder"

You can do so simply by launching the version tree of that parent folder in a view on stream B, selecting the version of that folder in stream A (in the version tree), and right-clicking "merge to" the current version in stream B.

That will create a new version of that parent folder (in stream B) which references the "my folder": checkin that version to conclude that one merge.

Then you can launch merge on the view on stream B, indicating you want to merge stream A.
That will merge "my folder", and the sub-folders from "my folder" in that destination view on stream B.

The OP AlexM adds in the comments:

was not working to force merge because on stream B always was saying that merge already done (I merged before several files from Stream A);

I created a stream C at the same level with stream A, doing the same steps on Stream C ...version tree, start merge for parent folder, choose folder to be merged "my folder"...

I could copy "my folder", now I merge all files from Stream A to Stream C.
