Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : La gestion de versions (en anglais ou ) est une activité qui consiste à maintenir l'ensemble des versions ou révisions d'un logiciel ou autre document. Essentiellement utilisée dans le domaine de la création de logiciels, elle est surtout concernée par le code source ; mais elle peut être utilisée pour tout type de document informatique. Cette activité étant fastidieuse et relativement complexe, un appui logiciel est presque indispensable. À cet effet, il existe différents logiciels de gestion de versions qui, bien qu'ayant des concepts essentiels communs, apportent chacun son propre vocabulaire et ses propres usages. À titre d'exemple, on trouve un mécanisme de gestion de versions dans Wikipédia : pour chaque article, l'historique est disponible en cliquant sur le lien Historique. Les logiciels évoluant, chaque étape d'avancement est appelée version. Les différentes versions sont nécessairement liées à travers des modifications. Une modification peut correspondre à des ajouts, modifications, suppressions ou une combinaison des trois sur une version donnée. Schématiquement, on passera de la version N à la version N + 1 en appliquant une modification M. Un logiciel de gestion de versions nous aidera alors à soustraire la modification M de la version N + 1 pour retrouver la version N. Les concepteurs du logiciel de gestion de versions RCS ont choisi de parler de « révisions » (revisions) afin de ne pas confondre la version du logiciel a...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr

ClearCase Branching using configspec

The problem is:

What directories actually have:

a version in the branch BR_PHASE2 ?a version labeled LBL_MS_PHASE2_04-NOV-2010 ?

If you only branch/labeled all files under /myVob/myDirectory, then the directory /myVob itself won't never be branched/labeled.

That means the following config spec won't be able to select any version for /myVob, making all the other rules for any file under /myVob useless:
Until ClearCase is able to select at leat one valid version of /myVob, it won't be able to select any version for any file under /myVob.

element * CHECKEDOUT element * /main/BR_PHASE2/LATEST

You should always end your config spec with a "config stop-rule" like:

element * /main/LATEST

or at least:

element /myVob /main/LATEST

Add one of those at the end of your config spec, and the view should work as expected.

The ClearCase config spec mechanism is a composition-based one: to know more about it, see the SO answer "Flexible vs static branching (GIT vs Clearcase/Accurev)".

The OP adds:

You have mentioned to always end the cs with: element * /main/LATEST,

Not necessarily:

If you want to be sure to only view the files under /myVob/myDir with the right branch/label, you could use as I mentioned above:

element /myVob /main/LATEST

The rule applies only to /myVob (not to anything under /myVob).
That allows ClearCase to get past /myVob (because it can at least select a valid version for it) and start applying the other selection rules to the sub-directories.

but if I want to check out the files only from the branch BR_PHASE2, wont this create an error. I am saying that when I end it with /main/LATEST and checkout and check in files , it is updated in main branch. what do I do about it ?

It depends on the config spec you are using:

element * CHECKEDOUTelement * /main/BR_PHASE2/LATESTelement * /main/LATEST

would indeed create new version in the main branch

element * CHECKEDOUTelement * .../BR_PHASE2/LATESTelement * /main/LBL_MS_PHASE2_04-NOV-2010 -mkbranch BR_PHASE2 element * /main/LATEST

would not, because the third rule would apply first, if the element has been labeled LBL_MS_PHASE2_04-NOV-2010.

Re: Clearcase CM Java API - How to find folder changes

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!

Posted: Aug 04, 2010 04:29:33 PM   in response to: jlevine 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.

Re: ClearCase 7.0.1 Multiple Domains - One Way Trust

Having finally managed to pursuade the higher powers that the ADAM solution was not a good one we have now gone for a two domain setup with a one way trust between domains. I have tried following the instructions for proxy groups but cannot get ClearCase to play ball.

The setup

DOMAIN A
ClearCase Server
Client

DOMAIN B
Client

Domain A trusts Domain B but not the other way.

All groups are setup in domain A and the client in that domain works as expected, however getting the client in domain B to work is a problem.

I can't use the domain A server group or ALBD account as the account is not recognised and the ALBD service will not start. I have created an account (with the same name) in a new group in domain B and added this to the server group in domain A. This allows the albd service to start and the VOBs can be viewed - partial success.

This will not allow the checkout or add to source control operations (I haven't tried anything further yet) as it says "permission denied, must be one of: member of element group, element owner, VOB owner, member of ClearCase group".

I have created a proxy group in domain B, with the correct description, and added that as a member of the domain A ClearCase users group. I have also added the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP value, trying with the group from both domains but get the same result.

The owner of the VOB cannot be seen properly from domain B due to the trust being one way but when viewed from domain A is correct (owner: domain A vob admin, group: domain A clearcase users).

Does anyone have any pointers as to where I have gone wrong? I suspect I need a two way trust but need to try all options with a one way trust before going that way.

Thanks

There is a RFCs collection where all those protocols and their usage is explained.

In short when you ping a remore machine, your PC does send a "hello" message to the address you wish to enquire.

In human terms:

hello AAA I am ZZZ do you read me?

hello ZZZ this is AAA and I read you

When you use:

ping address -a

you ask the remote machine to supply you its human readable name known as DNS

Also the ICMP set is used to build a matrix of machines in a LAN

The full RFC list can be found in here: www.rfc-editor.org

Then you can ignore telnet, ping etc. for now: this is useful knowledge in general, but it won't help you in this case.

Posted: Nov 23, 2010 09:36:01 AM   in response to: shingirl in response to: shingirl's post This seems to be going around in circles...

Some important tests:
1) Verify that a "loaded" ping (packet size of at least 4096 bytes) works. "ping -l 5120 {registry server name}" is a useful command to test this...
2) Verify whether you can do an lsvob of a known VOB tag. "cleartool lsvob \myvob" If this works, while a full lsvob fails, you most likely have a firewall configuration that is blocking the full communication.

If the single-VOB lsvob fails, then verify that you can actually communicate with the albd port on the server host. The best command for that is the old windows "telnet" program. The syntax is "telnet {registry server name} 371", and if this is successful, you will see NOTHING. If it fails, you will get an error like this:
Connecting To ...Could not open connection to the host, on port 371: Connect failed

If the telnet fails that way, you need to determine why you cannot perform this basic communication and resolve the issue. The possible causes are:
1) Name resolution. The server's host name may resolve to an incorrect address in DNS
2) Client-side firewall issue. The ClearCase commands from this host may be getting blocked by a firewall on the client. You would be able to see this in a network trace started on the client, because you will see no communication going out to port 371.
3) intermediate firewall issue.

Note: If the registry server is also this client's ATRIA license server (check clearcase control panel or cleartool hostinfo -long), then the fact that you are NOT getting a license error indicates that basic communication with the albd works.

If you need to verify ability to get to the port, telnet has the advantage of completely eliminating clearcase from the client-side picture.

This may be an advantage if the test fails, but not, as here, if it succeeds.

Re: Direct Queries to CC Database

Registered: Oct 13, 2006 04:15:41 PM Direct Queries to CC Database
Posted: Nov 16, 2010 03:08:02 PM It may be easiest to just give an example. Suppose I want a list of all files (elements) whose basename is foo.c. "basename" is the last part of a path. So with a element on path /a/b/c/d/foo.c, the basename is foo.c.

I know about the "find" command (cleartool find . -name foo.c -print) but that is doing a linear search. There should be a way that I can do something like "select path where path like '%/foo.c'" in SQL terms.

I have many other questions after this one but this will get me started.

Thank you for your help

Posted: Nov 16, 2010 05:40:20 PM   in response to: pedz in response to: pedz's post if you use -all, it will search independently of the config spec and also use internal indexes if available. That works up to a certain number of hits and ccan actually be somewhat fast. It depends on exactly what you are searching for.
You can use any sql because the CC DB isn't sql. It is called RAIMA and there is no user accessible interface except cleartool commands. They tried to use a relational DB and the performance was really bad. So RAIMA its is and will be.

Posted: Nov 17, 2010 05:06:19 PM   in response to: martina in response to: martina's post time cleartool find -all -name foo.c -print

took 32 minutes to complete. :-(

Plus, I'm pretty sure it is searching only a small fraction of all the files. If I go up a directory, the find does not work. And in that directory, there are probably 20 sub directories. I think the find above is searching just one of the 20+ sub directories because that is where I started the find. Doing things like find * or find ./* did not work. But, its rather moot. CMVC could do the query over the same files in a few seconds and give me tons of more information in one query like tying changes to defects, etc.

It is fine if I can't do SQL but there must be some way to dig out the information that I'm looking for. So far, all the cleartool commands produce verbose texty stuff which has the data but with a lot of verbose text around it. I'm needing just the data.

The "-all" option expands the search to the entire VOB that you are currently in. By default, ALL visible and invisible elements are searched, but there are options (-visible | -nvisible) to constrain the search. If you want to search all VOBs, use the "-avobs" option which will search all VOBs mounted on the host you execute the command on.

If the find command doesn't work one directory up, then you probably are not in a VOB anymore (multi-part VOB tag names).

There has to be another way to do this. Nothing could be this broken.

As a more practical question: how do I find the list of files that belong to a component? Does CC even have the concept of components? Some way to group files into sets that are managed by one team?

It seems unlikely to me that you are going to frequently have to scour your entire source tree looking for foo.c (or whatever). More than likely there is a different way to solve whatever the underlying requirement is.

scary way to work in Sofware Configuration Management

1- there is no need to use cleartool find unless extract data from all branches
2- when the view is mapped, default windows M: driver and Linux/Unix the stgloc set by the admin

Just use dir foo. /s* in Windows and ll -R | grep foo in Linux/Unix . . . . job done

But as someone has already asked, what is the purpose of you question, more important what is your aim?

Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:33:01 PM   in response to: Anthony Coluzzi in response to: Anthony Coluzzi's post My initial objective is to "port" two CMVC scripts. I believe if I can do that, then I'll be on my way.

One of them queries CMVC and reports back, for all files like foo.c all the changes and all the defects that are associated with the changes for all releases for that file. I'd be somewhat content if it was only one particular file. So: All the changes, for all releases (what CC calls areas), tied back to Defect numbers. The report gives me the from and to sccs id strings. There is also a similar report that gives me all the changes for all the files for a particular component (for all releases). These reports take only seconds to run. We (support) do them rather often. I call those scripts Prs and Prs-comp.

The opposite direction is a script called Changes. It is similar to a CC script we have called ChangeRecord but the difference is that Changes goes across releases as well where as ChangeRecord requires a specific "area". So, Changes takes a Defect and reports back all the files for all releases changed by that defect. It too gives me the from (previous) sccs id string and the new sccs id string.

I get that the sccs id strings are different in CC/CQ but the purpose is the same. If we are talking to a customer and them to do a "what blahblah" to get the list of source files used to create that version of blahblah, we need to be able to quickly map that back to a defect and understand where that defect fits in in the stream of changes made for blahblah or for that component.

A typical support person in our team is supporting over a million lines of code. That is just the networking code, its drivers, and various other bits and pieces. There are probably a couple dozen such other teams supporting almost the same amount of code. Even knowing just the paths to the files is a challenge.

Posted: Nov 18, 2010 05:14:36 PM   in response to: pedz in response to: pedz's post As I guessed you might need to try a different approach...

For a start - if you were using ClearCase's UCM instead of vanilla ClearCase I think at least some of those features would be available straight out of the box. However I gather you are not doing that.

It isn't quite clear if you are using ClearQuest as well as ClearCase but you must be using something to track change requests and linking that information to ClearCase. Its hard answer without knowing this.

For some more generic approaches... In ClearCase you typically label the versions of everything that are part of a release.
So for example one of the ones you mentioned - "get the list of source files used to create that version..." (I assume "version" in this context is a release of the deployed product). You would do a find by the label. There are several ways to do this (find command of course is one). In this scenario (searching by label) I think you would find "find" is much faster.

It also means you can just get a view of the code as at any release quickly... if you labelled everything as REL3.1 just create a view and set the config spec to:element * REL3.1
If it is a dynamic view you will then be looking at the entire source tree as at that release immediately.

Find can be used to identify all the versions of files that changed between two labelled releases. This is a bit more complex because it needs three find queries to cover the changes, adds, and deletes.

For your defect related identifier questions we'd need to know how you are connecting code to defects.

Argh!
I'd say that if you are using base ClearCase, you still have some hope; none if you used UCM.

In ClearCase, you could use clearmake decently. Your deliverable should be a derived object, and thus have a config record. This would list the exact versions it depends upon. This is what you'd want to put into the 'what' string.
To do this, you'd need to create a new derived object from the one produced and tested, and which you decide to deliver. You could 'patch' (under clearmake) a copy of the former, with meta-information taken from its config record.

UCM threw ClearCase away in many ways. For clearmake, it did it by selecting an adverse delivery strategy, based on (mostly trivial) merging, thus creating spurious duplicates of the versions and invalidating derived objects based on the original ones, instead of promoting them.

Anyway, in a context such as the one I described (which I used 15 years ago), a label would be applied using the config record. Using it to produce a one line config spec, one could recreate the full software configuration, and get back to any single file in it in a matter of seconds.

That may address some of the poster's concerns in an ideal world but it isn't very helpful. He is a support person not a developer. He is unlikely to be able to go and tell his developers to start using ClearMake. Even if he could that is a major change - not something he can get done quickly. His requirement is to port two scripts to some equivalent functionality in ClearCase. I started with some assumptions about what is likely to be there that he can work with.

UCM has plenty of flaws but it would address the requirements (note I did not suggest that he change to UCM if he wasn't already using it).

All we can really assume is that it is likely all the versions that go into a release are labelled. That is what my answer was based on.

Registered: Oct 13, 2006 04:15:41 PM Hi,

Thank you for all these advise and comments. Just to clarify, we definitely have CC and CQ. As far as UCM, I would assume we do because it is sprinkled all through the internally generated documentation we have. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. I'm just so frustrated at leaving a perfectly good working solution using CMVC to use something that seems to not be as robust.

I'll likely be back asking more questions when I figure out what questions I need to ask :-)

Thank you again.
