Issue in checking out a file after cleartool startview command

Question

I want to checkout a Clearcase file through unix command using cleartool co but I ended up seeing the following error message.

cleartool: Error: To operate on UCM branch, must be set to an activity and a UCM view.

I ran cleartool startview myview and cleartool setactivity myactivity and then I am trying to checkout a file.

Is file check out and check in commands tagged to setview instead of startview?

I am using startview command after going thru the following post Do not use setview instead use startview

Answer 1

As explained before (in your previous question), do not use cleartool setview

You just need to make sure that myview is indeed an UCM view (meaning lsstream is not empty)

cd /path/to/view
cleartool lsstream -cview

Also, do the cleartool setact inside the view.

Answer 2

Just wanted to list down the steps to get the solution working.

1) Created new view (myview) for a dynamic view/Integration View.

2) Navigate to the view folder which will be like homedirofserver/view/myview.

3) Created a new activity say myActivity(My initial problem was working with an activity which was previously set to another view.

4) set myActivity to myview and received message set activity 'myActivity' in view 'myview'

5) Then Navigated down to my scripts folder which is under homedirofserver/view/myview/vobs/vobname/myapp/WEB-INF

6) Ran scripts to checkout the scripts file.

It worked!!
