Given ClearCase stream name, how to get tag of local dynamic view?

Question

I already know a non-elegant solution:

get list of all views of stream with cleartool lsstream -l
find the view with Server host: *** equal to machine name by running cleartool lsview -l for all these views

It might be quite slow, because there are many views...

Is there a faster alternative?

You could reverse your sequence and:

first list all views for a specific hostname: without the -l option, it is quite fast
```
cleartool lsview -host <hostname> -quick
```
intersect that list with the views listed by cleartool lsstream -l.

`cleartool lsview -host %computername%` is very slow (hangs for at least 5 minutes, in my case) – my_stk_oflw_account Jan 12 '15 at 13:50
`cleartool lsview -host %computername% -quick` does not output anything – my_stk_oflw_account Jan 12 '15 at 13:51
Which version of ClearCase are you using? What OS are you using for your ClearCase client? For your ClearCase server? Are you in the right region? – VonC Jan 12 '15 at 13:55
though, the above command actually works, with lower-cased computer name – my_stk_oflw_account Jan 12 '15 at 13:58
also, the * in `cleartool lsview -host $host -quick` output indicates **dynamic** view – my_stk_oflw_account Jan 12 '15 at 14:31
@my_stk_oflw_account yes, at least for started dynamic views. – VonC Jan 12 '15 at 14:34
