svn auto updatation on response map projects

Hello,

We have few response map projects are there, we need auto update those response map projects automatically when user has opened iTest, if not auto update once in a day. Typically the users using windows OS machines.

Do we have any procedure or method to accomplish this task?

There is nothing built into iTest to automatically do this. It's assumed that the users will update the repository when they are ready to apply updated to their projects.

With that said, you can use 3rd party SVN clients to update to head automatically. For example, visual SVN supports command line functionality that will allow you to update using the "svn update" command. This can be added as a cronjob or windows task but you will likely need to use a generic login account if you are using Active Director. Password changes can break the process but you may be able to make it RO to everyone and not require a login - I'm not sure how your SVN server is configured.

Also, you should only commit changes using iTest or it may break your SVN repository.

I'm not guaranteeing this method but I know it's capable of doing this. Here are some command line examples: https://www.visualsvn.com/support/svnbook/ref/svn/
