Question

I am trying to automate updating my clearcase view and build the code in a bat file. I want to run the update command and then check the log to verify its success. For this I want to save the update log in a specified location rather than its default location

Now, cleartool allows you to specify your own log file within the cleartool console

cleartool>update -log pname

but when i use the same as a single command, it doesnt work

D:> cleartool -log pname ——— THIS DOESNT WORK

any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

you need to do (from cleartool update man page):

 cleartool update -log pname /path/to/root/view/directory 

A cleartool update outside a view won’t work.
A cleartool update with the path of a root view directory will work.

If you specify that root directory, then you can execute the cleartool update command from any path, including D:\.

pname ...

If you do not specify –add_loadrules, this argument specifies the files and directories to update.
All specified directories, including the root directory of the snapshot view, are updated recursively.
