TF.exe info returns "Ignoring the /collection option"

I am running tf.exe info $/TeamProject/Dev /collection:http://tfs.server.com:8080/tfs/collection. I am using this in a batch file to determine whether a team project has a Dev folder at all. Based on that, I know what security to apply to the project. When
I run the command line directly in an administrative cmd window, I get the same warning as when the script is run in an Admin prompt: 
"Ignoring the /collection option"
I believe this is why the result of the command line is always:
"No items match $/TeamProject/Dev"
It does not matter whether I point it at a project that has the specified folder or not. I cannot find a single reference on the web to this warning. My question is... Why the heck is it ignoring the /collection switch? The help returns:
tf info [/recursive] itemspec [/version:versionspec]
              [/workspace:workspacename] [/login:username,[password]]
              [/collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl]
/collection url is valid. I can copy the url I am providing in the command line into a browser and TFS opens as expected. I would appreciate any assistance.

Very sorry to have stayed away from this post so long. It is not an issue with the tool rather the way I was using it. It seems that the TF command line reads the file system location from which it is executed to determine the appropriate workspace if a
workspace is not specified. I was running it from an unmapped file system location. When I added the workspace parameter, it worked fine.
I was executing this command line from an unmapped location:
tf info $/[Team Project]/dev /collection:http://[Server Name]:8080/tfs/[Collection Name]
I got: Ignoring the /collection option.
When I ran this command line from the same location:
tf info $/[Team Project]/dev /workspace:"[Workspace Name];[Workspace Account]" /collection:http://[Server Name]:8080/tfs/[Collection Name]
I got:

  • Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

    I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore.  I organize my photos inside albums by events.  Why?  Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums.  So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track?  I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web.  What's up?  When will this be coming back?  Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco.  I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel.  Help me out here please.  Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

    What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums.  Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

  • Problem with SQL query pulling info out of a collection

    Here's my issue, I use a PL/SQL query to pull info from an XML file and put it in a collection. I then query the collection with a SQL statement to pull the info from the collection and put it into a table. I can see that the collection is being created properly, but then my SQL query is failing to pull the info out of the collection. Here's my PL/SQL query:
    declare
    l_clob clob;
    l_buffer varchar2(32767);
    l_url varchar2(4000);
    l_http_req utl_http.req;
    l_http_resp utl_http.resp;
    begin
    utl_http.set_proxy(apex_application.g_proxy_server, NULL);
    l_url := 'http://www.jobster.com/partnerfeeds/Servinity/Servinity.xml';
    l_http_req := utl_http.begin_request(l_url);
    l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_http_req);
    dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_clob, FALSE );
    dbms_lob.open( l_clob, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite );
    begin
    loop
    utl_http.read_text(l_http_resp, l_buffer);
    dbms_lob.writeappend( l_clob, length(l_buffer), l_buffer );
    end loop;
    exception
    when others then
    if sqlcode <> -29266 then
    raise;
    end if;
    end;
    utl_http.end_response(l_http_resp);
    apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('JOB_RESPONSE');
    apex_collection.add_member(
    p_collection_name => 'JOB_RESPONSE',
    p_clob001 => l_clob );
    end;
    This part works fine because I can check the collection and see the info was put there properly. Here's the XML file (part of it at least):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <job-list xmlns="http://jobster.com/feed/1.3">
    <site>
    <name>Jobster</name>
    <url>http://www.jobster.com</url>
    </site>
    <job>
    <id>58117925</id>
    <key>51253677</key>
    <featurelevel>1</featurelevel>
    <title>
    And here's the SQL query which isn't pulling anything back:
    select extractValue(value(t),'/*/name') "Name",
    extractValue(value(t),'/*/url') "URL"
    from apex_collections c,
    table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'/job-list/site'))) t
    where c.collection_name = 'JOB_RESPONSE'
    What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

  • How do I change the copyright info and links in collection pages?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the copyright info and links on a collection page using the new updated Public Site Manager?
    1. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' there doesn't seem to be an option to edit copyright information and I've tried editing the info in Settings > Copyright Notice but it doesn't filter through to the collection pages.
    2. When I click on 'Configure selected collection' the links tab is empty but on my collection page there is a link called 'website' which links to our University website but the url is incorrect so I need to change it.
    Example screenshot -
    Thanks

    Also when I add a url list to a collection page and then delete all the links I'm left with a blank url list showing in preview page in iTunes. This should not happen, the admin guide says -
    "To delete a collection page URL list, delete all the links in the list. When you publish, if you have a URL list with no links, iTunes U Public Site Manager hides the empty URL list."
    It doesn't. At least it doesn't for me when I preview the collection in iTunes.

    If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

    Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option.
    What can I do?

    The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
    If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
    Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
    A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
    The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
    My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}
    https://www.google.com/#q=raid+backup+mac
    Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
    Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
    My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
    plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
    can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
    good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    First thing to try: uninstall, then reinstall the latest Reader version.
    If that does not solve the problem, provide some information on your operating system, Reader version, etc.

  • How do I set the View Options in the Track Info window?

    Hi -
    Novice question here...(GB'11)
    I am trying to save an Instrument after I made some changes to the Effects.
    When I click "Save Instrument..." I get an alert
    "The file will be hidden.  You have chosen not to show your own settings.  If you save the file now it won't show in the browser unless you change your view options in the Track Info window."
    I didn't know I had chosen not to show my own settings.
    I am looking at the Track Info window (both the Browse tab and the Edit tab) and I cannot see where I can change "view options".
    Am I looking in the wrong place?  I really do want my new saved changes to be on that list.
    TIA you experienced input.

    The answer is obviouse when you find it the pulldown menu, it is in the middle of the info panel just below the tabs, and may be showing 'Garageband', press this and you can see a number of options including 'Show all'

  • Report execute time nd how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?

    Post Author: Prasad15
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Is there any way to know how long the report executes and how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?
    Regards
    Prasad

    To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
    You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

Maybe you are looking for
