Registered: Jul 27, 2010 01:06:03 PM Clearcase CM Java API - How to find folder changes
Posted: Jul 27, 2010 01:16:51 PM I am trying to use the API to find which files changed between different versions of a directory.
To do that I would need to find the bound children for either a CcDirectory or a CcDirectoryVersion and then compare the results.
However, the property CHILD_LIST comes back empty, and CHILD_MAP gives an "operation not supported" error.
I also tried the doReadMemberList(), but that also throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
Is there a way to accomplish this via the API? If the correct way is to use one of the above "unsupported" operations mentioned above, are there any plans to support these functions in an upcoming release?
It seems like this should be possible, since the CCRC Eclipse plugin has no trouble showing the differences between directory versions.
Thanks in advance!

in response to: jlevine's post Sorry to reply to my own post, but it may be that this question is not easily answerable. Does anyone know of a different forum or way to find an answer to the problem with the API devs?Posts: 561

in response to: jlevine's post You have a few options:1. You can compare two directory versions by 'cleartool diff'
2. You can use 'cleartool desc' to get the files that have been changed (it's generated automatically by ClearCase when it catalogues directories)
3. We provide a plug-in that easily reports the differences, including directories. It currently works for UCM only.

in response to: Tgefen's post Sorry, this needs to work in base Clearcase, and I need a solution using the new Java CM API, not using cleartool. Does anyone out there use this API?Posts: 4
