Hello!We have next politic using of starteam - I can’t check-in any files without active item (like ChangeRequest or Topic). In starteam dialog I can choose active item and “pin” it to check-in. But in FinalBuilder action I can’t do it, because this action don’t have this option.So, in this case of course I can do it manually - I can use action ST generic and manually make command line to starteam server. But, will it be right way?May be am I wrong? What do you think about it?

Hi Sergey,
We should be able to add that option in - what’s the syntax of the pin command line parameter for the check-in action?
[we don’t have a working StarTeam server at the moment so I can’t look up the syntax].
But, yes, you can use the StarTeam Generic action as you can pass in any command line parameters you need.

Thank you for so quick reply!
I read the documentation about this.
The keys, that will be useful for this:
-cr path : full path to the CR number to be used as a process item
-req path : full path to the Requirement number to be used as a process item
-task path : full path to the Task number to be used as a process item
-mark : mark a CR fixed, Task finished, or Requirement complete
In my case, I use ST Generic with command line
-is -filter “M” -u -cr /SomeProjectView/SomeProject%%20CR/%CR\_NUMBER% “_._”
where SomeProjectView - name of root view
SomeProject%%20CR - folder, where CR located. All spaces must be replaced to %20.
%CR\_NUMBER% - variable, that contained number of CR
Thank you, I hope you’ll make this option in future. Of course it’s small change, but I hope it will be useful not for me only.
