How Can I load of older version of a directory in a UCM snapshot view? In our project one developer checked-in not complated and non compilable code to ClearCase. Other developer updated her view then he was not compiling project because of previous developers's not complated code. So developer only wants to get previous version of direc...

I'm forced to use ClearCase (Windows version) at work, and I want to use emacs ediff as a diff and merge tool. The problem with the ClearCase map file is that it requires .exe files - I've tried to specify a batch file calling ediff and it didn't work. I don't want to write a C/C++ program (it's been more than 10 years since I've coded ...
I do not get the option at all to choose for the views to be snapshot or dynamic. What I would want is the development view to be snapshot and the integration view to be dynamic. Why is it that I am not prompted to let me choose my views to be snapshot/dynamic? ...
For example, instead of writing the following: element * .../my_branch_01/LATEST element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch my_branch_01 I would want to write something like this: MY_BRANCH=my_branch_01 element * .../%MY_BRANCH%/LATEST element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch %MY_BRANCH% Is this even possible?

So I am trying to setup a simple one way synch from a dynamic ClearCase view over to a MOSS document library. I'm using SyncToy 1.4 as my sync tool and it seems to work fine when it's copying new documents from ClearCase to SharePoint but it's throwing an error when I try to overwrite a file with a new version or try to delete an existin...
Can anyone think of a quick, easy and fullproof way of listing only ClearCase Remote Client views from UNIX? ct lsview obviously lists all the views, and you could search by looking at the Properties: section if you run a ct lsview -properties -full (gives you Properties: snapshot webview readwrite) then use a regex or something, but I'...
My question is about the way in which GIT handles branches: whenever you branch from a commit, this branch won’t ever receive changes from the parent branch unless you force it with a merge. But in other systems such us Clearcase or Accurev, you can specify how branches get filled with some sort of inheritance mechanism: I mean, with Cl...
I've been asked to provide details of a checkin I did about 3 months ago into ClearCase. I know the QC number that was included in the comment but have so far failed utterly to find a way to search ClearCase for a checkin by comment. Any ideas? ...
I am reviewing some ClearCase triggers written in Perl. I have noticed that in some regular expressions, variables are passed either straighforwardly or with their names in curly brackets. For example, I have the following line of code in a trigger: if ($baseline !~ /^${component}_(|.*_)$phase\.\d+(|[a-z]|-\d+|${automateddigit})$/ && ...
Hi, At my new company, the CMS is ClearCase. I've worked with Perforce before and it had a nice built-in notification mechanism for the team to keep up-to-date with files that changed in the project. I'm trying to have something equivalent in ClearCase. I would like to know if someone have achieved this before. Basically, there is thre...
I use Clearcase on a project with ~3700 files. While making a release, there are some directories that have to be labeled recursively. The file count here is ~2400. The files in other directories are selectively labelled. I currently label the files using a script to iterate through a list of files and label the files one by one. This ta...

Well I have an issue with SVN importer tool for migrating one of the ClearCase VOB which has a huge history ..we thought of doing this by picking up like 10 -15 baseline versions of the code and import it to SVN. So for doing that I think the user has to give me the specific versions one by one . So now he is asking me how to point a...

I will start with a little background for perspective to the question, what legitimate questions can I pose in order to identify the correct source control tool for the real needs of my development teams?
