Cannot 'cleartool setview' in a shell process opened with Perl IPC::open2

Question

I am creating a Perl script that, among other things, sets into a ClearCase view, sources an environment, and runs synthesis tools, and finally post-processes output reports

Answer 1

As I mention in the answer you saw "Python and ClearCase setview", using setview in a script is generally not a good idea.

The only solution I know is two make 2 scripts:

• one which ensure that setview is done, and /vobs/xxx refers to the right vob in the right view
• one which will use /vobs.

Trying to do all in one step will mostly fail due to the sub-shell launched by setview.
