question about 'lh console'
Hi,
I'm quite surprised on some description about command in the lh console.
here is some of them in the debug section:
dump : dumprandom debug info
test : run anarbitrary test
Dump seem to dump lots of xml files, but not all. Is there a utility in the dump command ? is it really good to name 'dump' a command that make random stuffs ?
Test : what sort of test ?
moreover, I'm stuck on the
"lh setrepo" and "lh setup"
command.
It is supposed to change the repository, but once the repository has been defined, I can't change it.
Anyone has encountered the same problem?

dump may well be another way of doing export without the parameters, i.e. a "default" export.
Agree with other post, we have also user setRepo and setup many times.. however... we have noticed issues.
Issue 1: the syntax of lh setRepo is kinda painful... at times 2 examples are given but only 1 works.
Issue 2: Changing from 1 repository to another seems to want the password of the old repository.. and at times brings up the passwor request window behind others.
Issue 3: Sometimes it just doesnt work. What Ive had to do many times is change to localfiles with setrepo -tLocalFiles -f\temp and then changed to another repository.
Issue 4: Changing passwords complicates things :)
setup seems to do better in general... although final issue...
Issue 5: Ive had problems where if things were locked the setrepo
wouldnt work.
So.. long story short.. I use setrepo and setup on a regular basis.. .probably a couple of times a month to move things between development, testing, production etc.. in general it works.. but at times its a royal pain :)
