Assumptions:
-- "cleartool" is in $PATH and aliased to "ct"
-- /admin-vob is the Unix path for special admin version object base (VOB)
-- "main_view" is a default view with the following config spec:
element * CHECKEDOUT
element * /main/LATEST
Operations:
# Creating a branch type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct mkbrtype -global -c "<comment>" <branch_name>
# Creating a label type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct mklbtype -global -c "<comment>" <label_name>
# Applying a label types to stuff recursively (already in a view):
$ ct mklabel -recurse -c "<comment>" <label_name> <start path>
# Applying a label type to an individual element (directory):
$ ct mklabel -c "A Directory" MY_LABEL /vob-at-hand/a/b/c/d
# Applying a label type to an individual element (file):
$ ct mklabel -c "A File" MY_LABEL /vob-at-hand/a/b/c/d/random.xml
# Locking a branch type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct lock -replace brtype:<branch_name_to_lock>
# Locking a label type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct lock -replace lbtype:<LABEL_TO_LOCK>
# Rename a branch type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct rename brtype:<src_branch_name> brtype:<tgt_branch_name>
# NOTE: Of course, any views that were looking for the old
branch tag need to have their config specs fixed.
# Rename a label type that is available to all VOBS
# associated with the admin VOB
$ ct setview main_view
$ cd /admin-vob
$ ct rename lbtype:<SRC_LABEL> lbtype:<TGT_LABEL>
# Create a ClearCase dynamic view in view storage.
$ cd /view-storage
$ umask 002
$ ct mkview -tag <view_name> <view_name>.vws
# Removing a ClearCase dynamic view:
$ cd /view-storage
$ ct rmview -force <view_tag.vws>
# NOTE: should ensure that there are no checkouts in view
# before removal.
# Listing the visible elements (sorted) from within a view:
$ ct ls -r -s -visible . | sort
