Could you please share your experience with Git to Clearcase migration ? As we need to convert our repo to CC and keep history. VonC There is no real "experience" of such a migration, but if you need to keep the history, you can do so easily for one branch (like master), it is more difficult for multiple branches: git filter-branch --tree-filter 'clearfsimport -preview -rec -nset . m:\MyView\MyVob\ParentDirectory' HEAD For each commit of the git repo, you do a clearfsimport, in order to add or update files in a ClearCase dynamic view (as explained in " Creating a new subdirectory structure in

I have a large number of files that I am trying to check in. This process needs to be done several times and is time and resource consuming. I am using the follow command to do this: cleartool lsco -cvi -all -s | awk '{print "cleartool ci -c \"<Name of checkin>\" " <path to vob> | sh This command does work, but it takes a very long time to run, as each file is checked in individually. Is it possible to checkin all files at once, or perhaps a faster method of checkin in the files individually. Is it possible to use the same concept, but for a mass checkout? VonC As I mentioned in " What are the

I am often getting a request like this. " Find the list of files changed from particular day". I got answer to this as example given below "cleartool find <Vobtag> -version "{brtype(IntegrationStream) && created_since(13-Jan.8:30)}" -print" But few people are asking "Find the list of files changed and by whom". So that they can pin down the developer name and assign him the task to resolve issues. Is it possible to pipeline the above command and find the user who made that version also? You should be able to add to your find query a created_by member. See the query language man page . created

/vobs/trms/NVaR/DSR/simulationEngine/common@@/main/2/nVARUTL.cxx@@/main/nz_mig/1 Can someone explain the meaning of the above line? Jim VonC This is an extended pathname which references: the version 1 of nVARUTL.cxx in branch main/nz_mig , itself accessible in the version 2 of the folder common in branch main See more at " pathnames_ccase ". The @@ references the element ( common or nVARUTL.cxx ), followed by their versions (branches/version). element-pname@@version-selector Since the path starts with /vobs , it means you are accessing that version through a view set ( cleartool setview ) on

Suppose stream B and stream C are child streams of stream A and seeded from the same baseline of A. After parallel development for a while in both B and C, B needs to obtain the codes from the latest baseline bl_C_5 of C. Is there any functional (merging of elements) or non-functional (performance etc.) difference between the following operations? B rebases from baseline bl_C_5 of C C delivers baseline bl_C_5 to B Simple: " B rebases from baseline bl_C_5 of C " is impossible: a rebase can only merge baseline produced from the parent Stream A , not from C . You could deliver C to A , set a

I'm writing a script to automate some merge operations and I'd like to do it using this command: cleartool findmerge file_name -fver /main/branch_name/LATEST -merge -log NUL -c "Automatic merge" The thing is, sometimes I get this message and I have to press enter to continue the process: Needs Merge "file_path" [to _branch_ from _another_branch_ base _yet_another_branch_] Any way to avoid this? The problem with findmerge , as this technote describes, is that it can report back inconsistent " Needs Merge " depending on the location of merge hyperlinks. And that isn't likely to be fixed anytime

I'm trying to open a project source controlled by IBM ClearCase, but it gives this message to me: The project '[MyProject]' is under source control. An error occurred registering this project with source control. It is recommended that you do not make any changes to this project. I just don't know what to do. I've already re-installed everything. The Visual Studio integration is already installed, but it keeps giving error messages. Is anyone knows a solution for this? Answer: I get a solution. I just selected the ClearCase in Tools -> SourceControl The IBM Technote swg21267165 mentions:
