Clear Case usage tips

1.Update resource

This function is used to download / update the latest folder/file from server.

If the folder has a sequence and should follow the previous folder sequence, then before creating folder (like 32 IT071201), need update resource of parent folder(eg:09) .

It will download all new folders and files from server (just under folder 09)

2.Add to source control

The operation is used to transfer you local folders and files to server.

After ctreating the folder, we need transfer to server and add to source control.

The default is checked out after Adding to source control.(you can change the default from windows->perferences)

3. How to add a lot local files to server?

4. How to update a lot of files to server?

Try to use ClearCase Search function too.

Replace the files use the latest files in your local mathine. Refresh the parent-folder. Then all the updated files become Hijacked files.

Search all Hijacked files by using search function, and Check out all Hijacked files without replacing local files.

Check in all the check out files.

5. VSS vs ClearCase

It is common to differentiate working and baseline directories in VSS, but it is not recommended in ClearCase.
You can apply a baseline or label to any composition of Compoments/Directories/Files elements, at any time, as

you wish.By doing that, it is very easy to manage different versions.
You shall work on a single folder, and you can store lots of versioned elements(both working and baselined) in it.
