Cleartool findmerge error

Question

I'm running this command :

cd into view directory cd into the relevant folder

cleartool findmerge rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\14 -fversion rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15 -print -whynot

I'm getting this error:

cleartool: Warning: A version selector is required, not a pathname:

venApp1.5.5.0\15".

No merge "rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp" [no version "rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

A cleartool findmerge requires pname:

One or more file, directory versions, or both; only the specified file versions and the subtrees under the specified directory versions are considered.

If rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0 is not an existing extended pathname, there is no version to be found, and that would explain the error message.

Try finding a view which already select the destination version, and do a:

cleartool descr -l rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp

That would give you the exact and full extended pathname.

The OP reports the second argument should be the version only, without the file:

\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Inte‌​g_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15 without the rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@.
