I would like to get contents of some stream or project I can find in clearcase project explorer.

  • a stream or a project references baselines and activities. In the project explorer, you will not get any files. Only baselines and activities within each streams. – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 13:26
  • Ok, how can I then get the files referenced by the stream or project? – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:31
  • Just added UCM dynamic view option. Could you try to illustrate exactly the kind of content you need to see? – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 13:31
  • I tried ClearCase for the first time and I can find some projects with the project explorer. I want to have the latest versions of files and directories on my harddrive. – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:34
  • I confirm: this is a UCM view that you need st.art with a dynmic UCM view: quickest way to access those data. – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 13:35
  • There's a very slow connection to the place where the server lies. How can I do a snapshot view to the same place? – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:44
  • Just added snapshot view informations. – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 13:48
  • the load rules does not deal with stream/project, only vobs and directories. A load rule only need to specify the vob you want to load, whatever the selection rules (based on the stream) are. – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 14:16
  • Do not hesitate to add in your question error messages you could have when typing a command. I will debug those. – VonC Sep 02 '09 at 14:17

2... 1

cleartool descr -l project:myProject@\myPVob

with some grep, you have the list of components (writable or not) and policies.

If you want only the Streams:

cleartool lsproj -tree myProject@\myPVob

You can repeat that for a Stream (to get the sub-streams)

cleartool lsstream -tree myStream@\myPVob

For the foundation baselines of a Stream:

cleartool descr -fmt "%[mod_comps]CXp" stream:myStream@\ideapvob

For the activities of a Stream:

cleartool descr -fmt "%[activities]CXp" stream:myStream@\ideapvob

If you want to consult the files (i.e. the exact version of each files) referenced by a stream, the quickest way would be to create a UCM dynamic view on that stream:

 cleartool mkview -tag myView_myStream -stream myStream@\myPVob -stg myStorage

With a dynmic view, you will not have any load rule (since it is a dynamic view).

You only need to mount the VOB which you want to see

cleartool mount \myVob

And you can start browsing the files 

 M:\myView_myStream\myVob\...

For snapshot view, see "Proper ‘cleartool mkview’ for ClearCase Snapshot view creation"

 mkview -snapshot -tag myView_myStream_snap -vws \\mySharedPath\myView_myStream_snap.vws -host myHostname -hpath \\mySharedPath\myView_myStream_snap.vws -gpath \\mySharedPath\myView_myStream_snap.vws myRootDir

For the load rules, see:

  • I meant with contents that how do I get the files of the stream or project? – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:24
  • I can get empty directory with mkview command. What should I specify in load rules? – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:39
  • How can I make a snapshot view of the same thing? The connection is so slow that I can't use dynamic view. – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:47
  • I can't find any information on how to specify stream/project information in the load rules. I tried with stream:sdlkfj project:sdf \VOB\Project etc. – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 13:54
  • I'll just make a new question about that. Thank you very much for your patience VonC :D – JtR Sep 02 '09 at 14:16
