AfterCompare¶
Script applications that are called by this interface are used to undo the modifications of the data after a comparison. The script applications are always started when a comparison is started on the client side (e.g. between two versions or a backup and a version).
Procedure¶
- The comparison begins.
- Files and projects are transferred and operations are executed.
- The AfterCompare interface is called and the associated script application is started.
- The comparison is ended.
- Temporary files are deleted.
- The comparison is completed.
Example: After the comparison the temporary folder into which the data for the comparison was unpacked can be deleted again.
If an error occurs in a script application, the checked-in data remains unchanged and the processing state of the component is not changed. An error message is displayed.
Command line for this script application¶
ScriptAfterCompare.exe /ConfigFileW:[absolute path of the interface file] /rd:[path of the client archive] /at:c
