Synchronization in Clear Case

Question

I am new to ClearCase UCM and want to understand something very basic

If I have a main branch, called Integration Stream. Also, there is a sub-branch of that, which is called development stream and if I create another development stream which is child of an existing development stream, will I be able to do synchronization (re-base and deliver) of this new development stream (sub-sub-branch) with the main branch/integration stream ?

Answer 1

Will I be able to do synchronization (re-base and deliver) of this new development stream (sub-sub-branch) with the main branch/integration stream ?

You will be able to deliver from subdev stream to any other branch you want. Integration or even a stream from another project (with the same UCM components in it)

You will be able to rebase, however, only from the direct parent stream (dev stream here).

See also:

• "ClearCase UCM hierarchy"
• "UCM Clear Case: Hiereachy of streams in one project vs multiple projects"
• "ClearCase: Is it possible to deliver or rebase selectively?"

is it possible to synchronize across two development streams that have the same integration stream as their parent.

Yes, through deliver only: you can deliver to a destination stream which is at the same level as the source stream.
Actually, you can deliver to any stream (but if the destination stream is a direct child of the source stream, then a rebase is recommended).
