Checkin history of a user in clearcase

Question

Is there a way to find out the checkin history of a user in a stream? I know that i can get the history by looking at all the activities in a stream. But the change set in an activity doesnt show the date the file is checkedin. Thanks for the help!

Accepted Answer

The changeset of an activity can show the date of the files. You just need to combine your `describe` command with a `fmt_ccase` format instruction.

```
cleartool describe -fmt "%[versions]CQp
" activity:myActivity@/pvobName
```

For each of the output:

```
cleartool describe -fmt "%u %n %d" aFile@@/main/branches/x
```

Note: On Windows, you can list all the activities for a given user. First, go into a UCM view associated with the relevant stream. Then:

```
for /f  %x in ('cleartool lsact -cview -fmt "%Xn %u
" ^| findstr "username"') 
  do cleartool desc -fmt "%[versions]CQp
" %x 
```

You can also script this in Perl (which would then be portable, both on Windows and Unix). See SO question "How can I interact with ClearCase from Perl?"
