My client is migrating from Source Safe to Clearcase. They need to list all the link files in the Source Safe database so the links can be carried over to Clearcase, as apparently all the source must be checked into Clearcase on day 1, losing any existing links. Are there any tools for creating this report, or perhaps even doing the ful...
I want a tool or a technique to be able to answer the question "What version of file X was used to build Assembly abc.dll?" I recently moved to a .NET development group, and it seems like this question comes up all the time, in one form or another, and we don't quite have a handle on it. Someone will say something like "Hey, is your la...
Hi all, I have been asked to look at how to restrict read access on certain VOBs in ClearCase, for compliance reasons (so this needs to be auditable, etc, etc...). I have found a solution so far, that I will post here, but I still have questions, so any help would be appreciated. Especially as the devil is in the details, I think. For ...
Hey, When attempting to set up an 'External Tool' in Eclipse, there are a great deal of variables that deal with project location, workspace location etc - but not any for reference to the Copy View Area - i.e. Where your CCRC view starts. This would be very useful for referencing tools that may be in a VOB external to the Java Project...
I want to check in a directory and all the sub-directories into the clear case. Is there a specific command to achieve it? Currently I am going into each directory and manually checking in each files ...
Hey, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm trying to run some environmental scripts before I run the build in a m2 project, but it seems no matter how hard I try - the 'pre' build script are never run early enough. Before the 'pre-build' scripts are run, the project checks to see if the correct files are in the workspace - files that won't be ...
I am struggling with a perceived conflict between tracking all my changes so I can figure out where I broke the code yesterday, and having a controlled (high overhead) code review process that keeps things sane. I work in a very traditional ClearCase shop. All checkins require code review and I lack the authority to create private bra...
This piece of Perl is telling me that a file in ClearCase doesn't exist when it does; $x = "PATH/TO/FILE" if (-e $x) { print "This file exists on the file system"; } else { print "I can't see this file"; } Has anyone seen this before? Some files return fine. Got me stumped. Clearcase view is dynamic, hosted on unix. This piec...
I've previously documented my opinions on Clearcase as a source control system, but unfortunately I am still using it. So I turn to you guys to help me alleviate one of my frustrations. We have just moved from a one-branch-per-developer system, to a one-branch-per-task in an attempt to improve some of the issues that we've been having w...
Hi; In ClearCase, you can list the content of a directory using "cleartool ls". My question is how can I do the same thing using CAL (ClearCase Automation Layer). The reason I prefer the COM API is because I won't have to parse the output of "ls". So far, I am able to get the VOB and the View successfully, but I didn't find any method...
I'm helping get the SCM set up for a new program, and we're currently in the process of deciding on a VCS. The main contenders at this point are SVN, ClearCase, SVN+DVCS, and just a DVCS. At the moment, the team is leaning towards either SVN or SVN+DVCS. We want to avoid the expense and administration costs of ClearCase, but want the ...
So, it's the opposite way round this time - I need to migrate a SVN-based project into ClearCase. Is there any tools out there that'd make the process a bit easier (rather than putting together a custom script) and are there any gotchas from anyone who has had experience doing this? Thanks! ...
Hi everyone, I'd like to find files in ClearCase that are labeled with a specific label but that do not have any other labels set. For example, if I have files labeled like this: file1 LBL_A, LBL_B file2 LBL_A I'd like to have a query that gives me just file2 and not file1. Is there a way to do this with cleartool find? If this is ...
I am having a doubt in creating an admin vob. Can anybody give an example in commandline? It is urgent. update: thanks vonc for giving me the answer but i am using base clearcase and when i am creating tag to adminpvob its not treating as adminvob. Can you please explain me in detail with an example. ...
Because I'm currently struggeling to learn IBM Rational ClearCase, I'd like to hear your professional opinion. I'm particularly interested in advantages/disadvantages compared to other version-control-systems like Subversion or Git. ...

Hi everyone, Using Rational ClearCase v. 7.0.1.1 with UCM, I have a problem here when using ClearCase's "Deliver from Stream to Alternate Target" functionality. Imagine we have one project integration stream and two developer streams A and B derived from it. Now I change a file in stream A. I want the delevoper owning stream B to be ab...
Hi all, My question is pretty much summed up in the subject.The context is a problem we are facing with the account getting locked our fairly often. My setup uses this as the service acccount for clearcase application. There is another account by the same name (but in a different domain - a trusted domain) that runs a monitoring sofft...
Hi, I have 3 projects A, B based on A, C based on A. Changes A should first be merged to B and then from B to C. There are also changes in B not affecting A but some of this changed need to be merged in C. There some changes from A which have been incorrectly merged directly from A to C bypassing B. (I'm using the word "merged" becaus...
I'm working with Eclipse and ClearCase and we're facing the problem that there's no "ignore"-feature in ClearCase and we're having regularly checked-in files that shouldn't have been checked in. In Eclipse, I already found the "Ignored Resources" configuration in Window -> Preferences -> Team and have been able to ignore files that fol...
