command
1. setview 指定某个view你可以操作，否则你将看不到文件，ls，cd 等其它命令无效
setview viewname
2. rename branch type name
steps : telnet server ->cleartool setview xxx -> cd /vobs/...
-> cleartool rename brtype: old_branch_name brtype: new_branch_name
3. updated file changed list(FCL)
steps: telnet server ->cleartool setview xxx -> cd /vobs/...
-> cleartool find /vobs/project_folder -ver “version(…/your_branch_name/LATEST)” -print
4. edit config spec
steps : right click a folder/file -> enter command line window ->input "edcs" -> edit config spec
5. new a branch type
steps : right click a folder/file -> enter command line window -> mkbrtype branch_typename
6. remove private file
cleartool lsprivate –tag your_tag | xargs rm –rf
config spec rule
element * .../branch_typename /LATEST
- get the latest files of branch_typename
element * .../main/latest
- get the latest files of main branch
element /folder/changed_file.c /main/branch_typename/5
- get changed_file.c which located in the 5th node of branch_typename, this command format comes from FCL.
how to create a new branch?
1. create new branch from clearcase 注：这个方法只适应于修改少数文件时使用，针对每一个文件单独操作,缺点是每修改一个文件都需要重复以下所有步骤
steps:
right click a folder/file -> enter command line window -> mkbrtype -nc branchtype_name : create a new branchtype
-> mkbranch -nc branchtype_name dstfile : checkout dstfile
2. 这个方法主要用于新增项目（需要添加/修改大量文件），这个方法简单且不易出错，创建新分支后，可以随时checkout你所需要修改的文件, it is more smarter.
steps:
click right button -> command prompt -> mkbrtype branch_typename : new a branch type ->
config spec rule as below.
config spec rule :
element * .../branch_typename /LATEST
element * /main/xx/LATEST -mkbranch branch_typename
config spec rule :
element * .../branch_typename /LATEST
element * your_base_branch_type(label) -mkbranch branch_typename
