Product(s):

ProjectWise Caching/Integration Server

Problem: 

Fetchfiles utility does not recognize folders with spaces in the name (e.g. “Folder with spaces”) when trying to prepopulate the Cache one folder at a time.

Trouble shooting steps:

• Putting quotation marks around the whole destination folder path (“\path\to\folder with spaces”) didn’t help
• Putting quotation marks around the folder name (“folder with spaces”) works only if the folder is a root folder, located right under the Datasource “Documents” folder

Solution:

The solution is to use the [-i  inputfile] option.

Example:

Instead of typing this in the command line:

fetchfiles.exe -d server:datasource -u user -p password -w C:\FetchFileWorkingDir -r \path\to\folder with spaces

Type this:

fetchfiles.exe -d server:datasource -u user -p password -w C:\FetchFileWorkingDir -i \path\to\inputfile

And in the inputfile, which is a simple notepad file, type this:

-d server:datasource

-u user

-p password

-w C:\FetchFileWorkingDir

-r \path\to\folder with spaces
