Update: Updating Content References in Dynamic Documents

The Update command option can be used, for example, after the Diff/Merge process and before generating document previews to ensure all content references are up to date. The command to update all dynamic REQ content references within a repository is as follows:

ReqAdmin Update [-v] <Repository Path>

Note: The Update command option:

updates content references from the content in the file system repository that is being built; this differs from behavior in the Requirements Editor where content reference updates are performed through the authoring web service and database.
ignores inherited overridden static documents (XTemplates) that are out-of-date so that such documents always remain unaffected by base document changes.

A typical workflow might involve performing an update to content references using this command oprtion (Update) prior to building a content repository (using the Build command). In this workflow, you may elect to use the -SkipUpdate switch in the build command to bypass the default update process as part of the build repository. See Build: Building a Repository for details.
