Clearcase Administrative Commands.

Question

• VOB (versioned object database) is a data repository that holds the files, directories, and any objects that collectively represent a product or a development effort.

cleartool mkvob -tag vob-tag -comment comment -tcomment tag-comment -stgloc vob-stgloc-name

• How to change ownership and protection on clear case object.

cleartool protect -chown owner_id -chgrp group_id element_name

• How to delete others view OR how to uncheckout others file

cleartool lsview -l theViewToRemove # get its uuid
cleartool rmtag -view theViewToRemove
cleartool unregister -view -uuid uuid_of_viewToRemov

• How to create snapshot view:

ct mkview -snapshot -tag view_name -stgloc -auto view_name

Find commands:

1. Find element created by date.
   ct find . -version "{brtype(branch_name) && created_since(5-March)}" -print

2. List all file elements in and below the current working directory.
   cmd-context find . –type f –print
   ./Makefile@@

3. List all objects owned by user smg throughout all mounted VOBs.
   cmd-context find –amjain_anam viewvobs –user smg –print
   \work_vob\hw\util.c@@

4. List the version labeled REL1 for each element in or below the current working directory.
   cmd-context find . –version "lbtype(REL1)" –print
   .@@/main/1

5. Excluding any elements that do not have both labels, list all versions in the current VOB labeled either REL1 or REL2 but not both.
   cmd-context find –all –element '{lbtype_sub(REL1) && lbtype_sub(REL2)}' ^
   –version '{(lbtype(REL1) && ! lbtype(REL2)) || ^
   (lbtype(REL2) && !lbtype(REL1))}' –print
   \dev\testfile.txt@@\main\43

6. List each header file (*.h) for which some version is labeled REL2 or REL3.
   cmd-context find . –name '*.h' –element 'lbtype_sub(REL2) \ || lbtype_sub(REL3)' –print
   ./hello.h@@

7. List all versions that have a QAed attribute with the string value "Yes".
   cmd-context find . –version 'QAed == "YES"' –print
   .\Makefile@@\main\2
   .\hello.c@@\main\4

8. List the standard name of each element that has (or contains a branch or version that has) a BugNum attribute with the value 189.
   cmd-context find . –nxname –element 'attr_sub(BugNum,==,189)' –print
   ./hello.c

9. For each element that has had a merge from the rel2_bugfix branch to the main branch, archive the current version of the element to a tar(1) file in your home directory.
   find . –element "merge(/main/rel2_bugfix, /main)" \ –exec 'echo $CLEARCASE_PN >> /tmp/filelist'

10. If any element's most recent version on the main branch is missing label REL3, label it.
    cmd-context find . –version 'version(\main\LATEST) && ! lbtype(REL3)' –exec 'cleartool mklabel –replace REL3 %CLEARCASE_XPN%'

11. Attach a Testing attribute with string value "Done" to all versions labeled REL2. Note that the double-quote characters that enclose the string value must themselves be escaped or quoted:
    cmd-context find . –ver 'lbtype(REL2)'\ –exec 'cleartool mkattr Testing \"Done\" $CLEARCASE_XPN'

12. Conditionally delete all branches of type experiment.
    cmd-context find . –branch brtype(experiment) –ok 'cleartool rmbranch –force %CLEARCASE_XPN%'

13. (ClearCase only) Change all elements currently using storage pool my_cpool to use pool cdft instead.
    cmd-context find . –all –element 'pool(my_cpool)' \ –exec 'cleartool chpool cdft $CLEARCASE_PN'

14. Obsolete elements that are no longer visible.
    cmd-context find . –all –nvisible –exec 'cleartool lock –obsolete %CLEARCASE_PN%'

15. List merges (recorded by hyperlinks of type Merge) involving versions located at the ends of branches named gopher.
    cmd-context find . –version 'version(.../gopher/LATEST)' –print \ –exec 'cleartool describe –short –ahlink` Merge $CLEARCASE_XPN'strong text

16. In the current directory and its subdirectories, list element versions that are on the branch main_dev and that were created in May of this year and that are not the LATEST versions.
    cmd-context find . –version "{brtype(main_dev) && created_since(30-Apr) && (! created_since(31-May)) && (! version(\main\main_dev\LATEST))}" -print

17. /usr/atria/bin/cleartool find . -type f -version "{created_since(2013-11-09) && (! created_since(2013-11-13)) && brtype(branch_name)}" -print
