ClearCase Support: ClearCase's Graphical User Interfaces


Ever wanted to run the ClearCase Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) from the command line? Here's how.

To open a ClearCase browser, run this command:

xclearcase DIRECTORY_PATH

To open the Graphical Version Tree on an element (file or directory), run this command:

xlsvtree ELEMENT

To do a difference or diff on two versions, run this command:

xcleardiff VERSION1 VERSION2

For instance:

xcleardiff file.txt@@/main/3 file.txt@@/main/7
