  • ClearCase Support: Manipulating Config Specs


    Ever wonder how to see, save, and edit your Config Spec in ClearCase?

    To see or display the Config Spec for the current View, use this command:

    cleartool catcs

    To edit the Config Spec for the current View, use this command:

    cleartool edcs

    To save or backup the Config Spec for the current View to a file, use this command:

    cleartool catcs > filename.txt

    To set the Config Spec for the current View from a file (this will delete your current config spec settings, so please make a backup first), use this command:

    cleartool setcs filename.txt

    To set the Config Spec for the current View to the default setting (this will delete your current Config Spec settings, so please make a backup first), use this command:

    cleartool setcs -default

    Finally, to refresh or synchronize your View with all servers without changing your Config Spec, use this command:

    cleartool setcs -current

    For understanding the rules in a Config Spec, please read this guide.
