I'm running this command :

cd into view directory cd into the relevant folder

cleartool findmerge rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\14 -fversion rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15 -print -whynot

I'm getting this error:

cleartool: Warning: A version selector is required, not a pathname:

teg\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_Ra
venApp1.5.5.0\15".

No merge "rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp" [no version "rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.

Any idea how to fix this?

A cleartool findmerge requires pname:

One or more file, directory versions, or both; only the specified file versions and the subtrees under the specified directory versions are considered.

If rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0 is not an existing extended pathname, there is no version to be found, and that would explain the error message.

Try finding a view which already select the destination version, and do a:

cleartool descr -l rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp

That would give you the exact and full extended pathname.

The OP reports the second argument should be the version only, without the file:

\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Inte‌​g_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15 without the rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@.

  • This is the version that i got: `version "rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15"` `aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0` is a stream and i've used the `cleartool describe -l` command in this view, but the `findmerge` command i'm using in the `RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ` view in the parent directory. Any idea what should be the 2nd parameter of the `findmerge` command? – Alex Brodov Oct 26 '14 at 14:27
  • I thing that i've solved it, the 2nd parameter should include just the version and not the path, so the 2nd param will be: `\main\RavenAppMain_Integ\RavenApp1.5\RavenApp1.5.0.0_Integ\RavenApp1.6.0.0_Integ_OBS\RavenApp1.5.2.0_Integ\RavenApp1.5.5.0_Integ\aviv.sharon_RavenApp1.5.5.0\15` Without the `rvnDataPathEgressProcessor.cpp@@` – Alex Brodov Oct 26 '14 at 14:39
  • @user3502786 That could work indeed. That would be consistent with the output of the command, which only mentions versions. I have included your comment in the answer for more visibility. – VonC Oct 26 '14 at 14:44
  • @user3502786 no, I never used it for a single file. I generally used it on a folder (in your case, the parent folder), because the file itself can be moved, renamed or deleted from one version of the parent folder to the other. – VonC Oct 26 '14 at 14:53
