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?

We have used setRepo and setup many times to change the repository. It always works. Can you send the exact lh command that you are using?

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 :)
