Replies: 7 - Pages: 1 - Last Post: Dec 17, 2010 12:12 PM Last Post By: jeff98air Threads: [ Previous | Next ] My client wants me to automatically rebase all the rest of streams after a final deliver to the production. I can only do this with "Allow rebase to proceed with checkouts in the view" in the project. I've never done this before, so can anyone tell me what's the consequence?
Thanks

Can I rebase with files checked out?
Checkouts are not allowed during rebase (so we could easily support the cancel operation for rebase). If checkouts were allowed, UCM would need to store a copy of all checked out files (as merging may be required if some files are affected by the rebase). This functionality could be provided in a future release, but for this release of UCM you cannot have any checkouts in your development stream during rebase.
in response to: Jirong_Hu's post Prior to CC v7 (or 7.1), you couldn't rebase if any checked-out file was found on the target stream (even if this file wasn't part of the change-set).Tamir Gefen, GoMidjets
in response to: Jirong_Hu's post CC 7.0.1 added the ability to rebase a stream with checkouts, but the rebase will fail if a merge is needed with a checked out element (whether or not there is a merge conflict). This is because the checked out version is already linked to an existing activity and can't also be linked to the rebase activity. A version can only be associated to exactly 1 activity at a time. I think your client's request for you to rebase all child streams is NOT VALID. Aside from potential view permission issues, what does your client expect you to do with merge conflicts that are likely to occur?
-Jeff Ng
in response to: Tgefen's post And the text Jirong quoted applies: don't hope for a rollback since ClearCase cannot identify the state of the checkedout files before the rebase (which should then be restored). Unless of course the functionality of taking a snapshot was implemented.
I would object that this is a bad idea, as it would mean introducing a new identification mechanism.
A flag to force checkin_or_uncheckout would sound better: we have rules and we break them (in other words, do whatever you want but you are warned).

in response to: jeff98air's post Hi Jeff That was my original understanding, and I just saw that happened in my test as shown below. For now, I added this rebase step in a post deliver trigger but let the deliver complete even if the rebase fails.
What I used before is let someone in the team rebase the child streams next morning after the deliver to the production is done last night. So they got a chance to review everything before continue. What do you think?
Thanks

in response to: Jirong_Hu's post Here's what I do: When new baselines are recommended (after successful build and automated unit tests), a notification email is sent to the team regarding the new baseline. Team members can then rebase to the new baseline when they are ready to, rather than it being done automatically. -Jeff Ng
in response to: jeff98air's post Or, just enable the policy that they cannot deliver until they have rebased the new recommended baseline...that works too. -Chris Moir

in response to: ChrisMoir's post Chris Moir wrote:Or, just enable the policy that they cannot deliver until they have rebased the new recommended baseline...that works too.Well, sort of... Enabling POLICY_DELIVER_REQUIRE_REBASE just prevents a user from delivering unless they have rebased to the recommended baseline. It does not notify users that a new baseline has been recommended.

in response to: UCMRookie's post Hi, Please compare the view storage (.view.stg) to another known healthy CCRC view to ensure no parts are missing, and also check the view log on the CM server. When I just had this same issue, the view log was saying:

in response to: JonesWong's post it says "not sun system" and it also says "OS win xp" sounds to me like you are tryingto install a Sum (Solaris) package on a windows system. Martina

in response to: JonesWong's post The easy way for you is to fire up the IM GUI and see whether it shows it as available to you. If its grayed out, it's not for the platform that you are running on.Martina

in response to: JonesWong's post I am having the same problem also.I'm not having the problem installing the apps using the IM GUI.
I've deinstalled and reinstalled so many times my head is spinning.
in response to: JonesWong's post The IM comes with Sun Java. I can see it in the ...\eclipse\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a\jre\bin directory. This is a new 2008 R2 server and it doesn't look like it has Sun Java installed. I thought that wouldn't be an issue. I'm just trying to install the thick clients.
This server has UAC turned on. I am logged in as Administrator and for extra measure I right clicked on the DOS prompt and am running the DOS session as Administrator. But since I can do this via the GUI it's definately a DOS/silent install issue. Possibly with 7.1.2 and IM 1.4.1 and silent install.
Has anyone gotten that combo to work?
in response to: JonesWong's post Even more information. I looked at the file in my ..\users\..\temp\ directory and it is the ibmratl_lic.dll file.
And the software appears to be installed.
There's nothing in the log file to tell me more.
I didn't get the error when doing a silent install of CCRC but I did when trying to do a silent install of ReqPro and ClearQuest. So again that points to some FlexLM license related issue.
But I can connect to the license server and use the software.
I'm left not knowing if there's something that didn't install correctly.
Any ideas?
in response to: JonesWong's post I've been trying many ways to do a silent install for the client to a PC from a repository created on a server. For testing purposes I installed Installation Manager on the PC also but normal end users will not have it so the install has to work without IM on the PC.
If I go to the ..\eclipse directory on the PC and type:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silend-install.ini -input \\
If I try to use the servers installation of IM by typing something like -- \\
I have problems.
At first I was getting the same errors that JonesWong was having. Then I went to the server and modied the IBMIM.ini, launcher.ini and silentinstall.ini and updated the java path to be \\
I stopped getting those errors and now what happens is the Installation Manager splash screen comes up for 10 seconds or so, shuts down and the DOS command aborts with no message.
Has anyone been able to create a client install repository on a Windows 2008 server which they've then successfully installed from a PC without accessing Installation Manager on the PC?
Thanks.

in response to: JonesWong's post Yes. Opened a ticket Friday after hours. But no support until Monday:( And even so, I was hoping to hear if anyone else was successfull. If so, then I'd think it's our specific setup/commands that were at fault.
in response to: Barb's post Can You send me the PMR number please?greetings georg.
in response to: JonesWong's post I am facing the same issue while installing the ClearCase client in a Windows machine. If IBM tell you a solution, please post it for us.
Thanks in advance.
Supriano
in response to: JonesWong's post Very poor form of me to submit multiple updates to this ticket and then disappear. It's been a busy few weeks. Our particular setup is probably different than yours and I'm not sure which error you guys are having. The first error is fixed by updating the jvm location in the ...\eclipse\launcher.ini, ibmim.ini and silent-install.ini files. True you may not need to do it for all 3 but why not.
In our case we're not installing Installation Manager on the end users PC. Instead we're pointing to ibmim on a server and then installing from a repository on the server.
Normally the 3 ini files would have a line that reads something like:
c:\....\eclipse\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a\jre\bin\j9vm\jvm.dll
But for us there is no such directory or files on our C drive. We had to update the path to read:
\\
Then the second problem I had with the ibmim splash screen coming up and then shutting down and the install never really starting was because I was using UNC path to get to ibmim.exe. I had to map a drive to the server where ibmim is installed and from the command prompt on the PC change directories to that drive and execute the command from the eclipse directory on the server.
If you're still having problems please detail the steps you're going through and where the download, repository and installation manager files reside.
in response to: JonesWong's post I did faced the issue. It is purly JVM path issue. Say you have IM in
c:\IM\1.4.1\
Goto C:\IM\1.4.1\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a
Copy the "jre" folder"
Go back to c:\IM\1.4.1\
Paste it.
This will resolve all your issues.
After doing the above try executing this.
\\itdqc002\C$\IM\1.4.1\installc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input \\itdqc002\C$\response_file\install_clearcase71.xml

A starting point to script that kind of operation is this IBM document "How to list locked VOBs":
Windows: for /F %v in ('cleartool lsvob -short') do cleartool lslock vob:%vUnix: for i incleartool lsvob -short -host ; do cleartool lslock vob:$i; doneLeave me as a comment the Os on which you will perform those operations, and I will complete this answer with a script.
For instance, a quick DOS script chown_locked.cmd would be:

lockedlocked with the right owner (the previous one who has left)If a sub-stream is locked with a -nusers list of excluded users (excluded from the lock), this list is saved before the unlock, and restore when locking the stream again.
Of course, it will only work if the current user is ClearCase administrator (i.e. is in the same group than the ClearCase_albd user): only this king of user can do a chown on a ClearCase object.
