How can I rollback to a Label?
I see that tfpt.exe just lets you rollback a changeset. Also, It just lets me select 1 changeset at 1 time. What if, I wanna rollback 3 changesets at 1 time?
We are used to labeling a release. The tech leads may ask me to rollback to a specific label if something screws up in a branch. How can I get around with this?
Thanks.
2)So u mean to say that I have to go thru the above steps for all the 50-60 or more files if i were needed a previous label code for that branch?
This doesn't sound fun at all.
(edit) If this is too cumbersome for your situation, you could simply checkout everything (tf checkout $/path/to/parent/folder /recursive). During Step 3, TFS will detect which files did not change and automatically undo them.
checkout file1.txt
checkout folder\file2.txt
checkout folder333\file333.txt
etc.
Then runtf @BulkCheckout.tfc to quickly check out all of them. Full documentation of tf.exe scripts: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1az5ay5c.aspx
You should be able to select-all in the Resolve dialog and choose "discard server changes". Does it not work? I know there were some bugs in that dialog but I thought this scenario would be ok. Anyway, if it fails, you can use the cmdline:tf resolve * /r /auto:acceptyours
Right now, I just need to figure out things in TFS and see if there is anything that doesn't suit out IT process. Rollback to a label works for me using the UI.
I appreciate u forwarding the link and suggestion for the command line syntax......maybe it will help others who check this thread.
