As mentioned in my previous answer, just modify the map file located in: # up to ClearCase 7.0 c:\program files\rational\ClearCase\lib\mgrs or # ClearCase 7.1 and more c:\program files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\lib\mgrs Each map line has 3 parts: the CC filetype, the CC action, and the application. In your case, find the section in the map file for text_file_delta … Read more
Basically, ClearCase Perl scripting is based on parsed outputs of system and cleartool commands. The scripts are based on a cleartool run cmd like package CCCmd, and used like: use strict; use Config; require “path/to/CCCmd.pm”; sub Main { my $hostname = CCCmd::RunCmd(‘hostname’); chomp $hostname; my $lsview = CCCmd::ClearToolNoError(“lsview -l -pro -host $hostname”); return 1; } … Read more
This is correct, but first a few reminders: having a sub-stream does not mean a deliver have to be done from that sub-stream to its parent. A deliver can be done from a stream to any other one. sideway merges can be dangerous if the two streams are not based upon the same foundation baseline … Read more
This is usually due to the albd not running. Actually, it is running, but ClearCase tries to contact the wrong host. Here: Host-local path: Eh40yd4c:D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws is highly suspicious. Try: mkview -snapshot -tag battjo6r_view2 -vws \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -host Eh40yd4c -hpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -gpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws battjo6r_view2 That is: hpath = gpath. or, if the first command fails, also (it … Read more
How to change default diff tools You can specify an external diff tool by modifying the file map, in “c:\program files\rational\ClearCase\lib\mgrs” The WinMerge suggested by Paul actually modifies that file. Each map line has 3 parts: the CC filetype, the CC action, and the application. Find the section in the map file for text_file_delta file … Read more
Do not forget the time directive of selection rule. element /myPath/… /main/{!created_since(16-Sep-2009)} element /myPath/… /main/LATEST Can enable you to see versions from a month ago (see time and query) See also “time-based rule” answer. From there you can branch and update your code from this older stable point.
I confirm that you cannot find the root directory of a snapshot view only knowing its view tag: a snapshot view can be loaded in several separate directories if you want. The only link between your snapshot view and its root directory is the .view.dat hidden file which contains the uid of the view. Plus, … Read more
individual stream for each developer under DV stream Whoât???? This is SPARTA! (err… no: madness: this is madness) A stream represents a development effort, not a sandbox for a “resource” (i.e. “a developer”). Resources come and go, development tasks stay. You should have a stream per development line, upon which many developers create their own … Read more
A first possibility would be to try and select the correct version of the sub-directory to revert, like: element /path/to/directory /main/[branch]/[version] But that would be plain wrong, because: extended path names is not supported in snapshot view, as explained in this SO question. to select the directory alone is not enough (the files would still … Read more
I mentioned a script a little bit verbose, but which won’t remove any local storage and won’t either clean the CCRC session.dat: nuke_view.pl: you can use it to remove all views from a workstation (which may not be available anymore) cleartool lsview -host myHostname -quick | xargs ccperl nuke_view.pl The -quick option is very important … Read more
