In clearcase If I am working on some file X and want to also see its previous version(say version 5) it is available as X@@/main/5. Is something similar available with other (preferably free) version control systems? HG has hg cat and hg co. but they still do not come close to clearcase's feature above... Regards Vijay ...
I have seen in ClearCase that there is a Snapshot view and a Dynamic view. What are the differences between these types of views (I'm assuming there are only two types of views) and when are the appropriate times to use them? ...
Lets say I have a directory at \testfolder, and the latest is currently at /main/10. I know that the operation resulting in testfolder@@/main/6 is to remove a file named test.txt. What's a sequence of cleartool operations that can be done in a script that will take "testfolder@@/main/6" and "test.txt" as input, and will cat out the con...
A configuration management pattern question (using Rational ClearCase UCM) When I use the mainline approach I create new releases by: create release 1 from mainline on a certain moment baseline release 1, deliver release 1 to mainline create release 2 from mainline on a certain moment baseline release 2, deliver release 2 to mainline ...

Hi All, In my company, presently we are using Rational clearcase as the Software Configuration Management tool for our Embedded software development. The software is basically for Automobiles, to be specific for Engines (I dont think these information really matters). But I find Clearcase to be very slow is performing any the activities...
I am attempting to use the gdb/mi debugger in the Eclipse CDT version 6.02. While I am debugging I can step through the program with ease up until I reach the following snippet of a block of code. ENUM_START_TYPE My_Class::some_function( const char * c, const char * e) { ENUM_START_TYPE result = GENERIC_ENUM_VALUE; if ( c[0] ...
Hi all, I have created a clearcase dynamic view for my development by name "view1". I have mistakenly selected the view storage location as a local PC in my network, that was made sharable by the PC owner. I was suppose to select the view storage location to be a server. Now, the issue is that I have done lot of development with the vi...
When a deliver has been performed I can rightlick an entry in the GUI version/element log and it displays me a popup with the element log. Quite handy. I now have a delivery with about 25 failed ones and a couple of hundred OK's. Sadly I can not sort on the column "status" so I have to make screenshots wherever I find a [!] to sit toget...
I'm rather new to ClearCase but have searched through a lot of solutions to the following problem without success. When I try to do a check-in I get the following error. Error checking in 'MY FILE' No premission to perform operation "checkin" Must be one of: object creator, element owner, VOB owner, member of ClearCase grop Unable to c...
In a ClearCase config spec, is it possible to select versions based on element attributres (not version attributes)? For instance: element * ...{SOME_ELEM_ATTR==SOME_VALUE&&lbtype(MY_LABEL1)} This doesn't work because the last part of the "element" spec is a version-selector, which only looks at version attributes. What I'm trying t...
I'm trying to setup our ClearCase with Hudson for a continuous integration (and deployment later). I finally got a UCM view for the build, but unfortunatly our build process checks out files to store the build number. Now the build broke and the file is still checked out, preventing the next build. I already now about cleartool find . ...
Word has come from upon high to standardize our SCM system. And upon the clay tablets was written Clear Case. I am reaching out to anyone who is actually using this configuration - to get best practices, hints and tips, war stories, anything... The Sybase Source Control newsgroup only gives back the sound of crickets. We currently h...
Is there a way to "hijack" a file in subversion like there is in ClearCase. Googling so far has not given me a definitive answer. (For non ClearCase users) Hijacking a file means temporarily removing it from version control. ...

Hi, All, I have a bad fortune of using ClearCase with UCM at work. We try to find a way to get user experience smoother while using it. One of the main problems is that all files are read-only until checked out. This interferes with using IDEs and their refactoring capabilities. Unreserved checkout changes little as it still requires pe...
Is there any version control system available with an MVFS-like virtual file system in addition to the ClearCase? I can't find any. Thanks, Mart ...
Hi, I am trying to get ClearCase to give me an absolute pathname. (The tree from the view root to the current element would be fine too). cleartool desc -fmt "%Xn" yields the checked out pathname - excellent. But I need the \vob\directory\to\the\file as well. Is there a simple way to do this? I know one way is to convert to the OID a...
