I would recommend this question: Now the problem is to checkin everything that has changed. It is problematic since often not everything has changed, and ClearCase will trigger an error message when trying to check in an identical file. Meaning you will need 2 commands: ct lsco -r -cvi -fmt “ci -nc \”%n\”\n” | ct … Read more
If you don’t want to merge a specific type of file, you can change its type to a “copy merge” policy (ClearCase will copy the source over the destination) cleartool find . -name ‘*.jar’ -exec ‘cleartool chtype “COPY_MERGE” $CLEARCASE_XPN’ This is an improvement from the NEVER_MERGE presented in this IBM article, and is available in … Read more
2… 1 cleartool descr -l project:myProject@\myPVob with some grep, you have the list of components (writable or not) and policies. If you want only the Streams: cleartool lsproj -tree myProject@\myPVob You can repeat that for a Stream (to get the sub-streams) cleartool lsstream -tree myStream@\myPVob For the foundation baselines of a Stream: cleartool descr -fmt … Read more
If you consider the fmt_ccase options, %[latest_bls]CXp will always list the latest baseline for all components of a given Stream. So it is best to parse the result, and for each baseline name, to display its component name: cleartool describe -fmt “%[component]Xp” aBaselineName@/aPVob Also: %[latest_bls]CXp seems to be the only way to get directly the … Read more
If you are in a view, you can: get the current stream cleartool lsstream -cview get all baselines for a component in that stream cleartool lsbl -comp myComp@\myPVob -stream myStream@\myPVob get all foundation baselines for that stream cleartool descr -fmt “%[found_bls]CXp” stream:myStream@\myPVob Don’t forget that in a view on a stream with a modifiable component, … Read more
What is described by skwllsp can be be done in a dynamic view through the use of extended pathnames cd m:/myDynamicView/MyVob/path/to/file cleartool lsvtree myFile cleartool checkout -c “cancel co” myFile copy myFile@@/main/xx myFile cleartool checkin -nc myFile with xx being the version number you want to restore. But should you have made multiple checkins, including … Read more
One of the side-effects of a dynamic view is that ClearCase will control the attributes of the file you access to through the network, as opposed of a snapshot view (where everything is copied on your hard drive). 1/ Yes it is possible, even though it isn’t really an “hijacked” state. The dynamic equivalent is … Read more
Integration is a term used by convention to designate the first root stream of an UCM project. Each UCM project has one root stream (and potentially many sub-streams). The idea is that you will use your integration view as the destination view for deliver coming from sub-streams, effectively “integrated” the work done on said sub-streams … Read more
Single most dangerous pitfall: Once a component is defined, you cannot move an element outside of this component (you can copy it and re-create it elsewhere, but you will loose its history) Single most useful best-practice: Understand well the nature of an UCM component: it is about coherency. A component is a set of file … Read more
As explained in How can I use ClearCase to “add to source control …” recursively?, you have to use clearfsimport which does what you are saying (checkout the parent directories, mkelem for the elements) clearfsimport -preview -rec -nset c:\sourceDir\ChildDirectory5 m:\MyView\MyVob\ParentDirectory Note the : -preview option: it will allow to check what would happen without actually … Read more
