Version Control Systems/ClearCase/ConfigSpec ---- 1 Configspec The config spec tells clearcase what files from what branches you want to look at eg: {code:none} element * CHECKEDOUT element * .../mcs_new_branch/LATEST element * .../mcs_r1_0/LATEST -mkbranch mcs_r2_0 element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch mcs_r2_0 {code} 1.1 How is the ConfigSpec read?? Using: {code:none} element * CHECKEDOUT (1) element * .../mcs_new_branch/LATEST (2) element * .../mcs_1_0/LATEST -mkbranch mcs_new_branch (3) element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch mcs_new_branch (4) {code} (1) for any element, first look at checkedout one (if it exists), then\\ (2) look at branch mcs_new_branch/LATEST then\\ (3) look at .../mcs_1_0/LATEST, if found there check in any mods to mcs_new_branch (ie. make the element at this branch)\\ (4) look at .../main/LATEST, if found there check in any mods to mcs_new_branch\\ 1.1 Create a label To create a label called ~~MY_LABEL~~, within the current view:\\ {code:none} mklabel -replace -comment "optional comment" MY_LABEL /location/of/my/view/on/filesystem {code} 1.1 Set Configspec to use a label To get your view to use a label: {code:none} element * CHECKEDOUT element * .../mcs_new_branch/LATEST element * .../mcs_1_0/MY_LABEL -mkbranch mcs_new_branch element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch mcs_new_branch {code} This config spec will now pull back the labelled version for mcs_1_0. 2006-05-30 10:38:51.0 2006-05-22 13:54:33.0
