Update All / Update Connected (Drives, Folders)
Note: You can also use the UI Tool to configure the -UpdateAll / -UpdateConnected command and run the process.
Please read more here.
Update All
Use the -UpdateAll (-ua) key to update all drives, folder or files in the catalog:
-UpdateAll
-ua
Important
1. The `-UpdateAll` command cannot be used together with the `-CatalogPath` command; only one of these commands can be used at a time.
2. By default, the `-UpdateAll` command temporarily disables the Update Report to avoid interrupting the update process. If you want to display the Update Report after the update for each drive is complete, use the `-UpdateReport Show` command.
3. The `-UpdateAll` command prioritizes updating connected drives first. After completing updates for the connected drives, it will prompt you to connect any remaining unconnected drives for updates..
Examples:
WinCatalog.exe –Open "d:\my catalog.w3cat" –UpdateAll -ExitWhenDone -Log "D:\UpdateAll.log"
The command starts WinCatalog, open the catalog file "d:\my catalog.w3cat" and updates all drives in the catalog file and saves the log of the operations to "D:\UpdateAll.log"
Update Connected Drives
Use the -UpdateConnected (-uc) key to update all the connected drives, folder or files in the catalog:
-UpdateConnected
-uc
Important
1. The `-UpdateConnected` command cannot be used together with the `-CatalogPath` command; only one of these commands can be used at a time.
2. By default, the `-UpdateConnected` command temporarily disables the Update Report to avoid interrupting the update process. If you want to display the Update Report after the update for each drive is complete, use the `-UpdateReport Show` command.
Examples:
WinCatalog.exe –Open "d:\my catalog.w3cat" –UpdateConnected -ExitWhenDone -Log "D:\UpdateAll.log"
The command starts WinCatalog, open the catalog file "d:\my catalog.w3cat" and updates all the connected drives in the catalog file and saves the log of the operations to "D:\UpdateAll.log"
