hi all, I am new to clearcase and software development using version control system. I am using clearcase for version management currently. I use eclipse IDE for software development. I installed clearcase plugin for eclipse over the internet from sourceforge.net website. Some how the plugin does not work. The softwares that i instal...
I have recently put one of our projects on Hudson using the UCM ClearCase plugin. Hudson works well until a configuration changes and then it hangs at update. In ClearCase the user is prompted and asked if they would like to continue (yes/no) when theres a change so im guessing this is where Hudson is hanging. I have configured Hudson t...
I've integrated clearcase plugin to visual studio 2008. I'm facing problem with unreserved checkout option with plugin. I modified, TOOLS -> options -> Rational clearcase -> clearcase user options . I removed the check "Reserved" under "operations" tab. I click OK. After this setting , I selected a file to checkout --> a popup asking ...
I want to checkout some files from a batch script, but since we use UCM checking out files needs to be associated with an activity. Is there an easy way to show the GUI for creating/selecting an activity to associate the checkout with? ...
I have a Folder in ClearCase that contains a large list of Reports. I have checked all the Reports out because I need to make a sweeping change. I have changed a set of the Reports and now want to deploy this set. I probably should have checked the Report files out one at a time and then deployed each as I finished. But, since I did n...
I have two dynamic views in ClearCase which, as far as I know, are supposed to be "equal". One is supposed to look at the "Main branch" and one at some other branch (let's call it A). I did a merge from A to Main (in the Main view) and for some reason the code at the A view compiles while Main does not. Is there a way to compare the v...
I would like to display the content changed between two labels for a file specified. I did this using find command of cleartool earlier, but this was a two way process: First determine the elements changed between two labels using the -version switch in find and then pass the two versions for a file in the diff serial switch to displ...
One of the shops I'm working at relies on dynamic views in ClearCase. The established norm has been to create a new view for each project effort. Over time I've found that I've only needed to have one or two views concurrently active. I've taken to "reusing" a view by changing the config spec (subsequent to check-in, label, release, ...
I'm coming from a ClearCase background where we (simply speaking) had a workflow made up of three steps where the leftmost trunk was unstable, middle trunk is Quality Assurance and the rightmost was stable. i.e.) A A A | | | B C | | /| | C | E | | / D E | / E As you can see the stable trunk contains only the versions that...
Hi! Let's say I have a vob of 100 elements. Of the 100, I created my own branch off of the latest versions of the respective trunks. Let's say I did this a week ago. Today, I want to see if any of the trunks of the 10 elements have a version that is newer than the one off of which I branched a week ago. Of course, one way to do this wou...
So I got tired of waiting for Emacs to load every time anew, and consulting Emacs Wiki, I wrote me an invocation script such as: #!/bin/bash # @file: /usr/local/bin/emacs # @version: 1 server=/tmp/emacs${UID}/server if [ ! -S ${server} ] ; then /opt/emacs/bin/emacs --daemon until [ -S ${server} ] ; do sleep 1s done ...
I recently sent an email to my colleagues explaining that I need to make some changes in our shared ClearCase view which will mean that our project will be in a non-compilable state for a day or two. One guy is complaining about this. What can I do to prevent his complaining? ...
I am developer with more than 10 years of software development experience. I have joined a new shop which uses ClearCase and I would like to understand ClearCase. Any suggestions for a developer who has pretty good hands on the following SCMs Subversion : Perforce : written extensive build scripts integrating with perforce Mercurial ...
Hi, I have never used ClearCase, but have used Subversion and for a short period of time Perforce. The IT department in our company officially supports ClearCase and some people have their code checked in it and some people sort of use it as a back up storage. I am still undecided on weather to use ClearCase itself or setup my own repo...
how to lock all the streams under integration stream in clearcase in UCM ...
I am working on analyzing different files between two views in Clearcase. I need to generate output so that I can do this task without an internet connection. What I would like is to run a command that recursively walks through each view and generates a merge/diff output file for each change from view A to view B. This can work like a me...
So here is the problem. I have a local snapshot in my local windows system and i run my ant script and it builds. I have build system which is also winxp but its a vmware built inside ubuntu. i have also a snapshot there too in winxp , and my script runs against this. But clearcase doesnt allow to write anything on this folder and buil...
Hi all, Having a regular size-efficient backup for only the modified checkedout elements in all views would be a great thing for us, since a great deal of the defined dynamic/snapshot views cannot be included in the daily backup policy. The following ksh code is near to what we would need for a dynamic view, but it trivially assumes tha...
Hi, I use to work in Clear case where I can see a visual representation of the code base in a tree structure. Do we have a similar tree kind of visual representation for SVN? Thanks ...
Hi , I would like to know if below my need is possible in clearcase : Say , I have 15 different views (Dynamic or Snapshot) created (from different users/developers), I want get the "config spec" using some kind of cleartool command (Without having to right click on the view and select the configspec from windows context menu).
