The option "-rmall"causes the removal of all instances of the label on all files /directories.Remove label type and all occurrences of the label. ct rmtype lbtype:LABEL_NAME Remove label from Clearcase. It will not be removed iflabel has been applied. Use option "-rmall" to remove label and allinstances of its application. ct rmtype -rmall -brtype branch-type Remove branch and all files / directories in branch from Clearcase. Data disposed in "lost-found". ct find -avobs -version "lbtype (Build-Label)" -print ct find . -name '*.[hc]' -element 'lbtype_sub(LABEL_NAME)' -print Print all files and file versions going into build specified. list all .h and .c files whith the given label. ct co -nc file-name Check-Out file (RCS command) -No Comment ct mkdir directory-name Create a directory. Checkout parent directory first. ct ln -s source-directory-name local-directory-name Create a symbolic link to a directory. Checkout parent directory first. ct mkelem -ci -nc filename Add file to Clearcase control. ct rmelem filename Remove file from Clearcase control. Allhistory and knowledge of the element is completely removed. Bycontrast, the "ct rm" command will remove the file and not the historyand the directory must be checked out in order to make this change. ct rmelem -rm filename Remove file from Clearcase control and remove private view file. ct rmelem directory-name/* Remove directory, revision history and its contents from Clearcase control. ct rmver filename@@/main/LATEST or ct rmver filename or ct rmver filename@@/main/22 or remove specifed version on main branch: ct rmver -force -xlabel -ver /main/22 file-or-element-name Remove latest version checked in of the filefrom Clearcase. Second example removes version 22 from the Clearcasechange management system. Previous versions will be available from thearchive. ct rm filename Remove file from Clearcase view. First perform a checkout("ct co") of the file and directory. Past versions will be availablefrom the archive although not visible in current view. Safer than "ctrmelem" which removes all knowledge of the file old and new. ct reserve file-name Lock file. Convert unreserved checkout to reserved. ct unco file-name ct unco -rm file-name ct uncheckout file-name UN-Check-Out file. Cancel a checkout of a file. Cancel a checkout of a file and remove file which was checked out. Notremoved from Clearcase, just view private the checked out file isdeleted/cleaned up. ct co -unr -nc file-name Checkout file even though file is checked out by another. Checkout "unreserved", must be merged at a later time. ct checkout -unreserved file-name Not locked. Checkout to read, print, etc. Same as above command. ct ci file-name Check-In file. (also ct checkin file-name) Enter comment,enter "." as sole character on line and enter. ct diff -gra -pre file-name & ct diff -pred file-name ct xdiff -pred file-name Graphical Diff/Merge tool.

List configuration record.The advantage of clearmake is that derived objects (object files generated by compiling source, hence derived from the source) are stored with extended names. i.e. file-name.o@@26Feb.14:28:9621 View default group on Windows PC: Open a DOS command prompt window. cd Program Files\Rational\Clearcase\etc\utils Execute the "creds" command Read the "Primary Group" domain. PC Configspec: right click on XX: drive + clearcase + properties. Clearcase explorer: C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\bin\clearexplorer.exe Clearcase find command: Tag "-all" refers to all files in VOB. Find all files with given label in the VOB: ct find -all -type file -version 'lbtype(LABEL-NAME)' -print Find all new or changed files since that with a specified label: ct find -all version '\!lbtype(LABEL-NAME) && version(/main/LATEST)' -print Find all files at the end of a branch in current directory: ct find ./ -version 'version(.../branch-name/LATEST)' -print Explanation of Clearcase views and file structure within a view: Views are required in order to use Clearcase. A unique view assigned to a userwill: allow a developer access to the VOB data (source code storage) provide a workspace are where users can privately modify VOB data withoutdisturbing the view of the VOB data held by other developers. Changes are only accessible by others when a file is checked into the VOB from the users private space. There are three types of views: Snapshot view: Changes and updates by others are not available to a snapshot view until a new "snapshot" is taken. Web view: accessible from Clearcase Web interface. Similar to a snapshot view. Dynamic view: access to all versions of VOB elements and view privateobjects as they are checked into the VOB. Directory Structure within view: The Clearcase view and versioning system is based on a directory structure beneath what at first appears to be a standard set of files in a directory structure. Example: (set view first: ct setview xxxxxx) Clearcase presentation Unix presentation ct ls filename1.ext@@/main/3 Rule: /main/LATEST filename2.ext@@/main/6 Rule: /main/LATEST ls filename1.ext filename2.ext Note that there are three versions of the file in the main branch. Actual Directory path representation: filename1.ext@@/ - Actually a directory name not a file name LABEL-1 - Actualy a file with the full contents. LABEL-2 main/ - Directory of main branch. LABEL-1 - Actual file with full contents of file. LABEL-2 - Actual file with full contents of file. 0 - Actual file containing version zero. 1 - Actual file containing version 1 2 - Actual file containing version 2 3 - Actual file containing version 3 LATEST - Actual file with full contents of file. Note: Clearcase stores the full contents of the file saved and not a diff between versions like RCS or SCCS which builds versions of the file when neccessary. The file "3" and "LATEST" are identical. cd filename.ext@@/main diff 3 LATEST This will show no change between the files. Search all archived files for a string: find filename.ext@@ -print grep 'wordToFind' {} \; This knowledge can facilitate searches in previous versions of source code. Relationship between views and directory structure: Each view will have the directory structure described above within its view. /view/... - View root directory /view/view-name1/ bin/... - Entire OS file system viewed from here for view-name1 etc/.. .../... vob/vob-name/src/filename1.ext - Unix presentation or filename1.ext@@ for "ct ls" .../... - Contents of Clearcase VOB /view/view-name2/ bin/... - Entire OS file system viewed from here for view-name1 etc/.. .../... vob/vob-name/src/filename1.ext .../... - Contents of Clearcase VOB This path /view/... is viewable by the regular UNIX user, with or without setting the view. When you set your view ("ct setview view-name1"), it allows oneto view the Clearcase archive from /vob/vob-name/.... The above path is for /view/view-name1/ The path /view/view-name1@@/ will show all the revision branches. i.e. /view/view-name1@@/vob/vob-name/main/LATEST/directory-name/main/LATEST/... 0/... 0/... 1/... 2/... 1/... Configspec: Configspec specifies rules of viewing specified elements which will be shown ina given view.The system default configspec can be found in $ATRIAHOME/default_config_spec (Typically: /usr/atria/default_config_spec) Basic configspec: (/destination viewstore/view-tag.vws/config_spec) element * CHECKEDOUT element * /main/LATEST Pattern matching: Pattern Description * Matches all elements in the path but not recursively. *.h Matches all elements in the path which match the suffix ".h", but not recursively. src/Makefile Matches all elements in the path in a directory named "src" which match this file name. src/.../Makefile Matches all elements in the directory/subdirectory tree named "src" which match this file name. src/.../*.[ch] Matches all elements with the suffic ".h" and ".c" in the directory/subdirectory tree named "src". src/... Matches all elements (files and directories) in the directory/subdirectory tree named "src". Config Rule Description element * CHECKEDOUT This rule is mandatory. Without this rule, any file that is checked out will not be seen in a view. element -directory * /main/LATEST Look at latest version of the directory on the main branch. element -directory * /branch-name/LATEST Look at latest version of the directory on the defined branch. element -file * /main/version-number Show this particular version number of all files in view. element * LABEL Show elements with this label. (i.e. element * /main/LABEL3) element * rule-name -time time element * rule-name -time 26-Oct.14:32 Show elements which comply with this rule and last modified prior to time element * rule-name -time time Show elements which comply with this rule and last modified prior to time element * /vob/vob-name/AppName/* LABEL Show elements in the specified directory with the given label. element /vob/projectA/... /main/LATEST Rule applies only to specified directory hierarchy. Branching: Branching can be performed to: Allow parallel development between two developers and later merge the code. Create a new version of the software with different features for a specific purpose. Add features in a separate branch to be merged in laterafter it is proven. The benefit is to allow the main branch to continuewithout being disturbed. Configspec to view branch: element * CHECKEDOUT element * .../branchx/LATEST element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch branchx This configspec will create a new branch for new files added or for files checked out.If file is checked out from /main/LATEST, then trigger (mkbranch branchx) executes to create a new branch for the file checked out. The branch type must first be created with the command: mkbrtype -c "Comment goes here" branchx Create the branch type before creating the actual branch. Only one branch type of a given name will exist. Many files may exist with the branches of the same branch type. Example of creating a branch: ct mkbrtype -c "Comment goes here" BugFix_branch_Y ct setview view-name ct mkbranch -nc BugFix_branch_Y file-to-branch.cpp This will create version "0" of file-to-branch.cpp in the branch named BugFix_branch_Y.
