How to run a script after the execution of a specific pair?

[Wollrabe]

In your help, you show the naming convention for running a script on a specific pair prior to the execution of a copy. But I don't see any instructions on what naming convention to use when running a script on a specific pair at the end of the execution of that pair. Here's your instruction for running a script on a specific pair prior to execution:

You can also specify scripts to run for each source/target pair. These scripts are run after the above scripts but before comparison:

* profilename_xxxx_startY.bat (batch file)

* profilename_xxxx_startY.cmd (command file)

* profilename_xxxx_startY.vbs (visual basic script)

* profilename_xxxx_startY.js (javascript)

* profilename_xxxx_startY.ps1 (powershell)

where Y is the folder number, i.e. 1,2,3 (1 is the first source/target pair, 2 is the second source/target pair, etc.) and xxxx is the word auto or manual.
Example: syncnetwork_auto_start1.bat, syncnetwork_auto_start1.cmd, syncnetwork_auto_start1.vbs, syncnetwork_auto_start1.js

I take it that it might look like this, but it does not work:
profilename_manual_end2.bat --- if I want to run the bat file after the 2nd pair completes it's execution.

I take it that profilename = the name of the profile that you have loaded and are running.

Thanks!

The reason I need to run a script on a specific pair is because I first copy the files to a central build dfs share (pair 1) and then I copy the files to a subversion repository. (pair 2). IF I only have one pair, I can copy to the subversion repository, and I run the bat file which contains the checkin command, it works perfectly. But if I have multiple pairs, I can't get the script to run on Pair 2?

Any Ideas?

I have two pairs of source/destination's, when the script runs it is failing.
I'm using the %VV_TARGET_FOLDER% variable to run the script on the target folder. But the variable is returning both destination folders, separated with a pipe. Here's the log file:

2010-08-30 09:35:19 : Running script \\HFILE\Production_Control\VVProfiles\TEST-Bluebird\TEST-Bluebird_manual_start2.bat
2010-08-30 09:35:20 : Script Output:
2010-08-30 09:35:20 : C:\WINDOWS>TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"\\SPNPF0120\SourceControl\Deployment_Test\Bluebird\ | \\hqsvnp01.bud.bpa.gov\svn_HANDOFF\TEST_Blackbird\CHECKIN\"
2010-08-30 09:35:20 : End Script Output
2010-08-30 09:35:20 : Script return code: 100

I just want the script to run on the second destination path.

Hi, yes the variable is not adjusted for each pair, it is always the whole path with both pairs. You could setup 2 profiles, one pair per profile, and schedule them to run sequentially using VVEngine: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/vvengine/vvengine.htm

Yes, that is what I have been doing. One profile for versioning. And another profile for distributing to all the servers. One thought I had, was to create a script that, if I always put the versioning as the first pair, have the script grab the path directly before the '|' delimiter. And run the script against that path only.

Maybe you could add this to the new features! To be able to run a script on only one pair. You help says you can, but it doesnt work, so you may want to fix that as well.

[Wollrabe]

It would be cool to be able to modify the variable to pull specifically the target path of the pair that you wish to extract.

%VV_TARGET_FOLDER1% = the target path for pair 1
%VV_TARGET_FOLDER2% = the target path for pair 2
%VV_TARGET_FOLDER3% = the target path for pair 3
etc...

That way you could pass that target path for a specific pair, to lets say a version control tool. That means you could have one profile that does the Versioning and the Deployment to servers, all in one easy button!

Thanks, added to the list of possible improvements for next release!

I was able to write a VBScript that parses out the log file. It captures each individual file name that was copied, where it came from, where it was copied to, and in my case where it was versioned to. With no duplicate paths listed. The output is sent to a HTML form. One script fires off the Tortoise SVN Commit screens, once the Commit is done, It fires off the parsing script which fills out the HTML form. Once that is displayed, it prompts you to Delete the files from it's Source location.
