How to setup activity automatically for a view?

Question

In our build , we use to delete our view and create new view before build.

It was working without any issue in base clearcase.

But in UCM we face issues whil

Answer 1

Use cleartool setact to set your activity.

setact/ivity [ –c/omment comment | –cfi/le pname | –cq/uery | –nc/omment ]
[ –vie/w view-tag ] { –none | activity-selector } 

You might need to unset the current activity first from your view:

Cleared current activity from view java_int.

cleartool setactivity -none

Then, Set an activity to be the current activity.

cleartool setactivity create_directories
Set activity "create_directories" in view "webo_integ".

See "Setting UCM activities" for more:

You can set only one activity per view at a time, and all checkouts in your view are associated with the currently set activity until you unset the activity or set another one.

cleartool setact -view  

(-view set before the activity name)

---

Note that if you are changing the activity while you have pending checkouts, you will have a warning.

You usually associate activities to a development task instead of a build number.
Since you don't version what you are building (the executables), you don't have to make a new activity per build.
