clearcase

Is it possible in clearcase to checkout a file for modification such that it is impossible to check it back in? I’m going to be hacking some files on a private branch, only some of which I want to ever check in. I want to eliminate the possibility of accidentally checking in unwanted changes. (I know we can write a trigger to check for magic keywords in the checkout comment; I'm look for something built-in to CC.) VonC "Hacking some files" is spelled in ClearCase lingo: hijacked files in a snapshot view . All you have to do is to: lock those files (except for the few developers you know are

situation: one vob, 2 views (main dev and branch view). i need to find all files that where created in the branch view and therefore can't be found via merge manager. anyone able to help? thanks When it comes to cleartool find, the two sources of information and example I recommend are: SAMECS find command IBM find examples In your case: cleartool find -all -ele "brtype(mybranch) && !brtype(main)" -print (supposing "main dev" means "branch 'main'") cleartool find -all -type f -ele "brtype(mybranch) && !brtype(main)" -print would limit that to files only (not directories) 来源： https:/

I have config spects for a view and I need to create a view in Clear Case using command prompt. Please let me about the commands I can use with some example. Thanks in Advance! That would be using: cleartool mkview followed by cleartool setcs -tag yourDynView pname , with pname being "a text file whose contents are to become the view's new config spec". For creating a dynamic view: cleartool mkview -tag yourDynView \\shared\path\to\viewStorage\yourDynView.vws That will create a dynamic view with a default config spec: element * CHECKEDOUT element * /main/LATEST You will then be able to replace

I'm looking at a scenario where I have an offline clear case view and I modify files in this view clearing the read-only attribute (hijacking) on the files I modify then several days later I take the view online and need to get my offline changes into the stream. What I would do is check out the hijacked files and check them back in (merging when necessary). Is it always safe to work this way? Is it possible that while adding my changes I would accidentally overwrite other people's changes done while I was working offline? Any recommendations on how to use ClearCase offline? Thanks! (I'm

I am trying to execute multiple commands in one shot but to my surprise only the first command is getting executed and the rest are skipped. And the command is cleartool setview view1234 ; cleartool setactivity activity456 ; cd /vobs/app/src/epw/WEB-INF/scripts ; pwd And the output of the above command is You can now run 'clearquest' to start Rational ClearQuest. But instead I'm expecting to see the following 3 lines of output: You can now run 'clearquest' to start Rational ClearQuest. Set activity "activity456" in view "view1234". /vobs/app/src/epw/WEB-INF/scripts My search efforts yielded

Normally, an update of a snapshot view detects hijacks by examining file size and timestamp. Is there a way in clearcase to detect a file whose size and timestamp is unchanged but the file content has changed? This isn't taken into account by ClearCase, since it assumes that, if the content has changed, the timestamp also has. See " How the update operation determines whether a file is hijacked ": When a version is loaded into a snapshot view, the file size and last-modified time stamp (as reported by the UNIX® or Windows® file system) are recorded in the view database. These values are
