What actually is the benefit of using Linux as ClearCase server instead of Windows? Is there even a big difference?
Thx!

Did any of you ever see the version tree for the clearcase file like the below versions hierarchy ?
branch_name
--------> 0 - 1 -3 -4 ( version numbers).
Version 2 is missing. I checked the history logs of the vob and the branch,but it doesn seems to be like removed. I ran the checkvob for the file, it says no misprotected or broken stuff.
If incase any of you experienced such scenario ever before, please share that experience with me.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I am trying to understand the StarTeam checkin model.
A colleague told me that you can check a file into StarTeam even though it has not been first checked out. Is this true and, if so, how is this different than adding a new file to StarTeam? Is StarTeam using an unreserved checkout model?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First off, I am new here, and I'm not positive that I'm posting in the right section, so please bare with me. I'm sure there are many questions to come.
I am a new software CM. I just got tossed into the job. I was pretty much told that I would learn as I went. I am a civilian, but working with the Air Force. I am assigned to a new platform that doesn't have anything set up already, except for we know which CM tool we are using, which is Microsoft Visual Studio.
I need to do a join project in a command line, so it can be part of a script. I found no CLI for it.
Anyone did it ? Or, something like:
1. Create stream acording to several pears of component/baseline. menaning:
component1, baseline1
component2, baseline2
.....
2. Create view on that stream
Doing it with joinporject GUI is great, but I need it to be transparent to the user, so he will only chose the pears.
Thanks,
Eli.
I've done a search for this particular case and have found no resolutions. I have a developer who has a file checked out (reserved) in a snapshot view on his PC. He is currently out of town and someone else needs to check out that file. How can I as the vobadmin change that reserved checkout to an unreserved checkout?
If that cannot be done, how can that file be "unco"?
If I need to remove that checkout, will the following command remove all checkouts in that particular view?
[center]"cleartool rmview -tag -uuid <UUID> -avobs"[/center]

Background:
A submitter opens an new item. Among all the fields on the form, Field A (unpopulated) is supposed to be visible but Read Only. The user selects the Submit transition and sends the form to the REVIEW state.
In the REVIEW state, Field A must appear as a Required field (that is, it must be populated by the Reviewer).
Question:
How do I make that happen?
I'm not the Mashups Admin, but here's the way he has it set up. Field A appears in the REVIEW state as Read Only.
We have a Clearquest application solution for internal audit tracking.
One record type as parent is the audit "Finding". The other record type as child is "Action". Of course both record types appear on the dropdown menu to create new records, but I don't want actions created without parents from that menu which happens from time to time.
How to remove the child "Action" record type just from the menu? Or prevent it from being created as a new record when not linked to a parent record?
Any solution is welcome.
Our organization is planning to implement CMDB for their operation. Please let me know the best CMDB tools in the market?

Classifying changes as I/II is sometimes hard to agree even though we are guided by Mil HDBK 61, etc.
For instance, would you interpret a minor change on a customer approved spec always as I?
Or would you classify a major change on code as I prior to customer acceptance?
I need to give file permissions to a specific users only.
My steps:
Setting up new CC group.
Add new group to the CC profile of people who should access to files.
Add new group to VOB.
Change file protection to new group.
Defined permission 770 to files.
But users still do not have access the files!!!!

I will be doing an SCM related talk at a Japanese company site this spring. I realize I don't know much about the Japanese SCM scene (or Japanese software development in general for that matter).
Are there e.g. any differences to the processes and tools typically used in the west?
Thus, I'd like to get in touch with Japanese SCM/software engineers and other folks who are/have been working with software development in Japan.
