I am new to IBM ClearCase.
I have a dynamic view with named "current_view". I am able to set it to the default config spec with the below command.

cleartool setcs -tag current_view -default .

But now I am trying to set it into specific track.

So how should I give the argument in place of "-default", so that config spec will get changed from default to specific configspec?

And one more info I want to know , when I am setting config spec to any specific track from which location and which file "setcs" command is reading the track information.

One option is simply to edit the config spec with cleartool edcs:

 cd /view/myView
 # or
 cd M:\myView

 cleartool edcs

Edit the config spec, and add your branch you want to follow

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * .../yourBranch/LATEST  <=== Add this line
element * /main/LATEST

Save and close: the dynamic view content will automatically adjust to your new selection rules.

You could also edit your condif spec in a file, and use that file as an argument of cleartool setcs

 cd /view/myView
 # or
 cd M:\myView

 cleartool setcs afile

That way, you can script the all process (no interactive step)

  • Hi VonC ,Thanks for your quick suggestion . Actually I am trying to do the same thing through shell script ."edcs" command will force me to do the changes manually .So , it will be better if I can directly pass an argument of track with setcs command . – Abinash Aug 21 '17 at 17:41
  • @Abinash yes, that is what my edit shows: in your script, create and appends lines of your config spec you want: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/77277/how-to-append-multiple-lines-to-a-file. And then still in your script, call setcs with the file of that file. – VonC Aug 21 '17 at 17:46
