QUESTION:
Is it possible for a user to generate the "accurev diff" URL from within the AccuRev WebGUI?

ANSWER:
Yes, it is possible to generate this type of a URL from within the AccuRev WebGUI. The following is an example of the URL:


http://plcunittest/accurevgui/WebGui.html?v1=19\3&stream=19&filePath=\phoenix\classlinklogin\src\classlinklogin.c&name=classlinklogin.c&depot=3&v2=19\2&view=diff&eid=479

Also, the below is the breakdown of the diff URL:

1. depot=3

Depot number 3, this is NOT the depot slice number; you can get depot number information from the AccuRev GUI, Admin -> Depots.

2. name=classlinklogin.c

The file element name you are diffing.

3. filePath=\phoenix\classlinklogin\src\classlinklogin.c

The AccuRev pathname for the file element name you are diffing.

4. stream=19

The stream number involved in diff; you'll need to get the stream name from 'accurev show streams' for the specified depot with stream#19.

5. v1=19\3

The diff from version

6. v2=19\2

The diff to version

7. view=diff

The link is from diff operation

8. eid=479

File element classlinklogin.c EID number.
