Merge arrow in clear case
clearcase
Solution
According to the `merge` man page,
cleartool merge -ndata -to aFile -version /main/a/SourceVersion /main/a/DestVersion
will draw a red arrow without performing any actual merges.
Since you have made your checkout/checkings in a branch or a UCM activity, what you need to do is:
- be in your destination view (the one where the merge occurred)
- query all the versions you made for that merge
- extract the file for each version
- extract the destination version
- compute the source version (for instance /main/aBranch/LATEST)
- do a "`merge -ndata`"
So, it is not so much a "recursive" algorithm, but rather an enumeration of all versions involved in this merge in order to draw the appropriate red arrows.
Problem
I have to merge all objects from a sub branch to main branch recursively. I would like to merge manually by check in the code from sub branch to main branch instead of using merge command in clear case. So after the check in into the main branch I would like to draw arrow recursively to all my objects. ic from sub branch to main branch I have used this command ``` cleartool mkhlink -unidir Merge <sub branch path>>@@/main/<<sub branch>> <<main brach path>>@@/main/LATEST ``` But when I dit it, it is drawing the arrow for the directory only not for all contains of the directory. Please suggest how to draw the arrow recursively from sub branch to main branch objects. Thanks in advance
