clearcase

So far I've been using SVN, and now is in need to pick up ClearCase quickly, from developer's perspective. Is there any good resource for this? Thanks. -- add on -- Is there a map between SVN's concepts/terminologies (i.e. repository, working copy, trunk, branch, tag, checkout, commit, update, revert) with CC's? Base on initial reading I came out with the following. Repository => VOB? Working copy => Snapshot view? Trunk => ?? Branch => Integration stream? development stream? Tag => Label? Baseline? Checkout from repo as working copy => Checkout from VOB as snapshot view? Commit from working

I've installed Hudson on my windows machine and trying to integrate it with UCM Clearcase (the repository we are using). There are no help docs available on Hudson wiki to explain how to do that. I select New Job --> Project Name I give as Test --> select Build a free style software project --> click Ok --> This leads me to Configure Project screen --> Under Source Code management I select UCM Clearcase --> I give a dynamic view name I've already created and the name of the integration stream (in stream selector) --> Under Advanced options I select " Use UCM dynamic view " and give view root

I'm trying to understand the hierarchy of UCM objects: UCM project, streams, baselines, composite baselines, VOB components, activities, change sets etc. Can you explain the hierarchy links between these objects? Can you provide a link to a good explanation? A visual diagram will be good as well Thank you! VonC An UCM project is a container forn UCM Streams. It contains at least one root stream (called "integration stream"), and several sub-streams. See " Integration stream vs integration view in ClearCase " for more. An UCM Stream is the representation of a "development effort", ie a way to

I'm a developer who has never needed to worry about the implementation of source control systems / branching / merging etc... I'm searching for book which explains these concepts but is aimed at clearcase users. From searching amazon - the book " IBM ClearCase 7.0: Master the Tools that Monitor, Analyze and Manage Software Configurations by Marc Girod and Tatiana Shpichko (26 Apr 2011) " seems to b a good read. Any recommendations ? Thanks. VonC You will find a good introduction regarding merges in ClearCase with " How files and directories are merged " The particularity of a merge with

I am setting up a project using composite baselines. When I create a baseline to send to the "Mainline" project, it always creates two baselines. One is called "COMP_BL" and the other is "COMP_BL.####" Is there a reason for this to happen? Could I possibly have my setup wrong? VonC No your setup is right. It will always create one baseline by component which have changed. If your root-based component (the one with files) has changed, it got a baseline. That means your root-less component (the one without any file, made to aggregate other components) will get also a (composite) baseline, in
