Question

I am using Clearcase dynamic view with a complex config spec. I need a command line command to find files where the version selected by the config spec has a specific property, such as:

• has a specific label
• does not have a specific label
• is on a specific branch
• etc.

I was looking at the documentation of the cleartool find command, but found no rule such as “version selected by the config spec”.

Answer 1

A simple

cleartool describe -l /path/to/your/view/path/to/your/file

should be enough to display all the informations you need.

Combine that with the fmt_ccase formatting options page, and you can display directly only the label and the branch name:

cleartool describe -fmt "%Sn %l" /path/to/your/view/path/to/your/file

See:

%Sn

Short name:
For a version, a short form of the version ID: branch-pathname/version-number.
For other objects, the null string.

Now, if you want to find all files with a version of a specific property within your view, use the -cview option of find.
See “Additional examples of the cleartool find command“:

To print all versions selected by your view that have a LABEL applied:

cleartool find . -cview -version "lbtype(LABEL)" -print

Following the same idea:

To print all versions selected by your view that are in a given branch:

cleartool find . -cview -version "brtype(BRNAME)" -print
