clearcase - how can i tell if a file i have checked out unreserved has been updated?

Question

I come from SVN. I'm new to clearcase: I have a number of unreserved checkouts (for local config purposes) that are occasionally updated by others on the project. What clearcase command can I run to determine which of my unreserved checkouts have been updated?

Answer 1

There is no easy way (ClearCase only mention the existence of a new version during the reconciliation of an hijacked version)

Hijacked files are still listed (cleartool ls) with their version

%> cleartool ls

archive.ppt@@\main\1 [hijacked]         Rule: \main\LATEST
project.doc@@\main\1                    Rule: \main\LATEST
doc_resources.ppt@@\main\2 [hijacked]   Rule: \main\LATEST

One solution would be, for each hijacked files found, to compare that verison (in the not-yet-updated snapshot view) with the same cleartool ls file done in a dynamic view with the same config spec as the snapshot view: if the version in the dynamic view differs, there should be a new version created.
