how to override the already existing workspaces in rtc using command scm or lscm

I have the requirement as i need to connect to the rtc and automatically checkout the files from the stream to the repository workspace. I am writing the following commands in the bat file.

lscm login -r https://rtc.usaa.com/ccm -u uname -P password -n nickname -c
scm create workspace (workspacename) -r nickname -s (streamname)
lscm load workspace name -r nickname -d directorypath(c:codebase/rtc)
lscm logout -r nickname

while i am executing the above batch file for the first time it is creating the workspace and loading the project into the workspace path. while i am executing the above batch file for the second time again it is creating the duplicate workspace with the same name and getting exception while loading. I want to override the already existing workspace every time while loading but I didn't find a command for that. can you please provide me any other way of doing it or any command that solves my problem

Instead of deleting and again writing the files into workspace, you can try accept incoming changes before load and then using "--force" attribute you can overwrite only the changes made files.

Accept using - SCM accept --flow-components -r <> -u <> -p <> --target

Use force at the end of the load command which you using.

this should work fine.

Either create a uniquely named workspace (perhaps by sticking a time stamp into the name?) and then delete it when you're done, or use the workspace's UUID from the creation step.

It will be good to delete existing local workspace sandbox before loading the new one. In my setup, we execute the following steps: 1. Delete local sandbox (if it makes sense delete existing repository workspace too) 2. Create new repository workspace 3. Load the new repository workspace to local sandbox
