Hi, The question may be not very clear as I'm not looking for a solution of a problem but rather seeking to avoid possible problems in the future. Say we have projects A B and C, B and C are based on different baselines of A. Is it ok to do merges between B and C in both directions from B to C and vice versa, wouldn't it create problem...
I have some 100 files to be merged from one branch to the other. Here is the set up that I have. There are two branches Branch A and Branch B. I have to merge elements pointed to by a particular label (say Label X ) on Branch A to Branch B. What is the fastest way of doing this? ...
I am trying to programatically determine if a VOB is mounted in clearcase. Specifically, I want to run a command and parse the output. However, I can't seem to find this information in cleartool describe. ...
Is there a way to perform a Clearcase checkin where the checkin comments are appended directly into the source file? This is like VSS does. Please, no debates on whether this is a good or bad thing to do, I have zero influence on these matters here. I need to have checkin data including the date, user, and comments appended (by clearc...
I work in a ClearCase shop and CC does a good job of integrating the team's work though our code review process prevents me from using it to track my daily changes. Creating an hg repository on top of my CC view works really well. I can track my changes and easily make backups on the file server, produce diffs for people etc. This is a...
For example, in TortoiseSVN, I can find out when a directory is out-of-date or checked out by looking at the images in the corner of the directory icon. However, I don't have that with ClearCase. Inside of Eclipse, I can see what I have checked in/out, but I'm not always inside Eclipse. It appears that I can right click on the file and I...
I am trying to design a script for the automation of a very tedious configuration process we had been doing by hand. The configuration process mostly consists of copying files from various ClearCase views, editing their contents in a predictable way, and putting them into a new local tree of directories. There's also some Protege and ...
Which Clearcase plugin should I use for eclipse 3.5+? which is easiest to use? which is most reliable? can any of the plugins handle working with multiple views cleanly? ...
Good afternoon, Is anyone using the ClearCase Automation Library (CAL) successfully to retrieve snapshot views? I can get all the dynamic views just fine, but not a single one of my snapshot views appears in the 'Connection.get_Views(true, region);' command... Is there any way to get these programmatically as ICCView instances? Cheers...
We employ a model where we have on integration and one common development stream per UCM project. Project A is the trunk. Project B is a branch of project A created on baseline BL1 of the integration stream of project A. The development stream of project A has been later rebased using using baseline BL2 in the integration stream. So BL2 ...
Good morning, is there any way to exclude only one particular directory from a snapshot's load statement, e.g. I want to load a whole vob named '*PM_CT*' except the \PM_CT\lost+found directory ... is there an elegant way to do it? And how would I generally exclude all lost+found directories across multiple loaded vobs? Cheers and Tha...
Good afternoon, seems like I am somewhat stuck in CC-land these days, but I have one (hopefully) final question regarding proper CC-handling: When using the CC View Creation Wizard with the two steps / details below, I can create a proper Snapshot view on my machine perfectly fine, however when trying to do the same with the mkview com...
I have a project where I need to perform a number of operations on a dynamic view. If any of those operations fails, or some error comes up in the program, I need to be able to back out the commits. The straightfoward way seems to be to simply put the commands into a queue and then, when my program finishes processing, execute the queu...
I am running an asp.net application (VS2008/.net 3.5) and when running it under VS in debug more it works fine. It reads files and directories from a network share happily. I can run "cleartool startview [dynamic view name]" ok, I can "cleartool mount [vob]" happily. But if I try to test for the existance of a file within the vob it c...
We are migrating from Clearcase to another VCS (probably either SVN or Mercurial). For companies that have made this transition, what factors did they find important in selecting another VCS tool, and what practices did they find eased the transition? ...
I have a client who is rather insistent about using Clearcase. Are there any tools/scripts that would allow my team to work against an SVN repository (or really anything other than Clearcase), but periodically automatically sync back changesets to the Clearcase VOB? My thinking is that if such a tool exists, and it's automatic, reliable...
I have two streams, where one is based off of the other. I'm working in the child stream now. Before I deliver, I want to know which files are new and which files are modified versions of files in the base stream. For example: Base stream A.txt B.txt Child stream A.txt B.txt <- modified C.txt <- new My delivery is going to include b...
On timer tick I am allocating new ClearCase ApplicationClass object, Is following code okay? Or Do I need to release memory, If yes, How? I am using ClearCase Interop of ccauto.dll, I believe ccauto.dll is unmanaged code, I am confused, am I supposed to release the memory or not? Please advise. private void timer1_Tick(object sende...
So, let me describe our current situation. We are a small team (6) of experienced Java developers, lost in a big IS team that is composed in majority with SAP and Siebel configurators. While all the other teams were currently using VSS, mostly as a vaulting system, our team had switch for Subversion (after evaluating DVCS as well) as it ...
Hi, I'm struggling with using ClearCase at my current job and it's a REAL pain, considering that we were using CVS last year. I'm trying to make a build server that downloads the code from ClearCase, compiles it and generates all the distributions. The build server must be RHEL5 and the ClearCase server is a Windows machine, so I don't ...
