How to apply a label To the latest version of a branch Using config

  • 0

How to apply a label To the latest version of a branch Using config Spec?
Can we apply a label using the Config spec.

Well I have created branches using the Config spec but I applied labels using the apply label option.
But i want to apply it by giving it in the config spec.

Can we do it if so how?

I tried it but Its not working.Thank you in advance

element  *   CHECKEDOUT  
element  /test_ari/karthik/omna.txt  .../karthik_9/LATEST/karthik_66
element  *  /main/LATEST

I want to create a label karthik_66 on karthik_9/LATEST using config spec rules but how do i make it?

    According to the config spec rules man page, you can use labels within a config spec to select a version, not to label one.
    So “no”.

    When you create/manage a branch, you need 3 rules, not 1 like yo currently have:

    element * CHECKEDOUT

# 3 rules here:
element /test_ari/karthik/* .../karthik_9/LATEST
element /test_ari/karthik/* /main/LATEST -mkbranch karthik_9
element /main/0  .../karthik_9/LATEST

element * /main/LATEST

    That would create a branch for any file (not just omna.txt) inside /test_ari/karthik, as well for any new file (the /main/0 selection rule).

    Since you view would always refers to .../karthik_9/LATEST, you can then apply your label at any time, setting it on the LATEST of karthik_9.
