clearcase

I have a client who is rather insistent about using Clearcase. Are there any tools/scripts that would allow my team to work against an SVN repository (or really anything other than Clearcase), but periodically automatically sync back changesets to the Clearcase VOB? My thinking is that if such a tool exists, and it's automatic, reliable, and transparent the client might be pursuaded to allow us to work against SVN. Thanks, Kent VonC I use Git directly within a ClearCase view. Then I could git2svn back the content to SVN if I had a SVN repo to synchronize with. Note: for a tool to work directly

We are using multisite clearcase repository, and often we require to merge and build our system, this merge and replication takes almost 3 days to be available across sites. Hence to be more efficient we are planning to move to Git version control. Could you pls advise of the potential drawback that we can encounter if we move to the Git from Clearcase? eddyp @zzz777: Your question was asked in such a ClearCase centric view that it failed to be comprehensible to people who never used ClearCase before. In fact, Git is light years AHEAD of ClearCase, it is commercial SCMs that need to catch up

If I perform a rmname operation on an element in a parent stream does this also delete the element in the child stream? No. rmname will create an new version of the parent directory of the element you are removing. That new version of the parent directory will no longer reference that element, and that new version will be created in the parent stream associated branch. That has nothing to do with the versions of that same directory created in the child stream associated branch. Those versions still reference that element. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8717359/does-rmname-on-parent

We are using clearcase as our SCM. I have not much experience with clearcase. Now we are about to release our code to production. I want to label my code as I have done using VSS in my previous projects. But in clearcase labeling is not as easy as in VSS. clearcase is asking to create a label type before label a folder in VOB. I don't understand the concept of creating label type? Any guidance on this will be highly appreciated. a lbtype is a template, a declaration. a label is the instance that will be put on each versions needed to be labeled. See mklbtype The mklbtype command creates one or

Get the error when creating the view “ cleartool mkview -tag $view-name $view-name " with plugin 1.7.4. Additional view-name added at the end of command line.

I do not get the option at all to choose for the views to be snapshot or dynamic. What I would want is the development view to be snapshot and the integration view to be dynamic. Why is it that I am not prompted to let me choose my views to be snapshot/dynamic? VonC May be you have ClearCase LT , which only provides snapshot view ? As mentioned in the ClearCase mkview help page : Specifying the kind of view Default ClearCase: Dynamic view. ClearCase LT: Snapshot view Anyway, you can try to create your views through command line cleartool : Snapshot: cleartool mkview -snap -tag yourView_snap

How to create a branch? Could anyone explain these syntax to me? element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch karthik_4 And suppose, if my latest version is 6 but i want to create a branch at 4 how it is done? VonC Creating a branch cannot be done in one selection rule. The idea behind a config spec is that ClearCase will try applying each rule in order until one fits (then it stops for that element, file or directory, and try the same set of rules, again in order, for the next element - file or directory). So the following ordered combination of selection rule will: display all elements in their LATEST
