I'm looking for a way to have separated but INDEPENDANT build_mgr on a same database to limit interaction between us. Each build_mgr will have a group of project to manage.

I want to avoid that the build manager of a project interact on a project which is not in its group....

any idea ?

I have a weird situation with a Cleartool find command in that it appears to 'change its mind' with time... I am running the following command:

cleartool find /vobs/gmag_public -all -type d -verion "brtype(main) && ! version(.../main/0)" -print

My changes to folders are performed on my primary Solaris server and the find command is run on a replica Linux server, which is "synced up" every 20 minutes.

When I run:

diff history 092757 history 110704

I am working on a pre-op trigger for the checkin process, where I am adding a line which contains the following information in the file to be checked in:

1. Version number
2. Username
3. Date
4. Comment entered by user during checkin

The above values are being read from clearcase environment variables.

I am implementing this using Perl. The problem I am facing is in case of a failed checkin( for example, an unreserved checkout user trying to checkin the file, when another user has checked out the file in reserved mode).

I was quite active in CMCrossroads a couple of years ago. Then I spent some time in load testing, RQM and ClearCase for zOS and now RTC.

Back to SCM in general, did I miss anything? Is there anything I need to catch up? What's the new development in SCM world?

Thanks

We are using Telelogic Synergy Release 6.5.4096 running with Windows XP and Windows 7. When we archive Unix formatted files into a Synergy project, the file format gets converted to Windows/DOS (carriage return added).

Is there any way to prevent that from happening?

We'd like to keep our Unix files in that format, and our Windows files in that format. I don't see an option to set.

Thanks, Mike

I want to find all files in a baseline and copy them to a staging area. The command I started with is:
cleartool find . -version "lbtype(BASELINE1)" -exec "cmd /c copy %CLEARCASE_PN% \\share\baselines"

This works but puts all the files into the same directory and the relative paths are lost.
I have also tried :
cleartool find . -version "lbtype(BASELINE1)" -exec "cmd /c copy %CLEARCASE_PN% \\share\baselines\%CLEARCASE_PN%"

I am currently using SCM for version control only and need to "split" a project into two different projects but I cant lose the versions. I already tried extracting and loading a repository but the versions get wiped out. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

I am involved in a migration from PVCS/VM into Subversion and am trying to workout/setup some "confidence building" reports to show/prove (both to me and to the end-user) that everything that was in PVCS has been migrated.

My generic process is:

1) List content of PVCS/VM ProjectDB using History/vlog

2) List content of PVCS/VM ProjectDB using SVNIMporter "list" option

We have a few shared projects used as buckets for adhoc pieces of code, and it looks like one of them was checked in yesterday; they normally sit at 'shared' status, but one has now changed to 'prep' status and build managers are now unable to add new objects (permission denied to workarea folder).

Is there an easy way for me to move this project back from 'prep' to 'shared' that anyone knows?

Thanks in advance,

Ben

All of a sudden Services startup tab is missing in clearcase control panel applet.

Does any one about this error?

Pls Let me know the resolution.

I was just wondering what the group thought.

Is ClearCase/ClearQuest nearing end of life since most of the new development at IBM/Rational is being done on Rational Team Concert?

It seems like all the new patches for both ClearCase and ClearQuest revolve around making it play nice inside Team Concert.

Hello, I got stuck in a make file which I doubt I didn't use vpath correctly. I came across your article here and I can figure that you are knowledgable about this. Is it possible you do me a favor?
I have a simple make file like this:

vpath %.c ${WPCP}:${CPCP}
vpath %.pc ${WPGM}:${CPGM}
vpath %.o $(WOBJ):$(COBJ)

PCCFLAGS = maxopencursors=30 \
sqlcheck=semantics \
userid=$(USERID) \
code=ansi_c mode=oracle ltype=none \
include=$(WINC) include=$(CINC) \
include=$(ORACLE_HOME_DTB)/rdbms/public \
$(DEBUGPL)
