It will contain all changes. Except an incremental baselines will compute those changes by adding: unique modifications introduced by the few changes (that is what an “incremental baseline” is: a label set only on the new versions since the previous baseline) all the other changes already references by the previous baselines up to a full … Read more

I really prefer working with /view/viewTag/aVob/… after starting the view (cleartool startview viewTag ) The “spawn process” issue makes the all thing too complex in my opinion, and explains why you have technotes like: “Setting into a view from a shell script … Read more

So in a dynamic view, any file can be described to reveal its versioning path: $ ct ls myFile $ ct descr -l myFile myFile@@/main/3 … Read more

Core concepts? centralized(-replicated) VCS: ClearCase is halfway between the centralized VCS world (one or several “centralized” repos or VOBS – Version Object Bases – every developer must access to commit) and the distributed VCS world. But it also supports a “replicated” mode allowing you to replicate a repo in a distant site (MultiSite ClearCase), sending … Read more
