I'm trying to change the ownership on a VOB, and I see that the cleartool protect command has a chown option. It's asking for a pname, and I can't seem to find documentation on what a pname is or how to specify one. I guess my questions boil down to:
What's a pname? What's its format?
How do I specify the pname for a VOB?
Is there documentation on pnames somewhere? Or at least examples of changing ownership of VOBs.
"pname" is a VOB path name. An example element path name would be M:\view1\vob3\src\main.c or /vob3/src/main.c (depending on your platform). cleartool protect changes permissions or ownership of a VOB object identified by its pathname
Changing the ownership of a Vob is done through cleartool protectvob.
It will require the "pname-in-vob":
The pathname of the VOB tag (whether or not the VOB is mounted) or of any file system object within the VOB (if the VOB is mounted).
I.e: /vobs/MyVob (unix-style) or \MyVob (usual Windows declaration for Vob tags)
It is different from cleartool protect, which would only protect an element (file or directory), which is, in the case of a Vob, the root directory of the Vob.
The path of that root directory would be the pname.
But again, that wouldn't change the ownership of the Vob.
