Auto Pull

[Donald Newlands 0]

Hi, 

We need to keep a file server folder updated with the latest files in our repository.  Is there a way to set up the Plastic server to automatically pull files as they are committed?

We'd like to use Plastic for an animation project where we'll use Plastic Gluon at remote workstations but files on our central file server need to be continuously updated where they can be accessed by rendering nodes and by backup file servers.  We could use a Plastic client at the server location and create a workspace on the file server, but we'd rather have it run automatically.

Hi Donald,

If you are going to have a workspace there, you could have a trigger that runs an update each time a new changeset is merged or created in the branch, so it always has the latest content from the server. Here you have more info about triggers:

Best,
