ClearCase Support: How to Make a ClearCase Label
You may be asking yourself how to create a label in ClearCase from the command line. Here's how!
First, create a label name (this is called a label type) in the VOB that you want to make the label in:
|
$ cleartool mklbtype TEST_LABEL Comments for "TEST_LABEL": . Created label type "TEST_LABEL". |
|---|
Don't forget to enter a comment for the label type, or you can use the "-nc" argument for no comment.
Now, you are ready to apply this label to version in ClearCase. To apply it to a single file, use this command:
|
$ cleartool mklabel TEST_LABEL filename.txt Created label "TEST_LABEL" on "filename.txt" version "/main/179". |
|---|
This command will label the version that your config spec is pointing to. To specify a specific version and move the label existing label, use this command:
|
$ cleartool mklabel -replace TEST_LABEL filename.txt@@/main/99 Moved label "TEST_LABEL" on "filename.txt" from version "/main/179" to version "/main/99". |
|---|
Finally, if you wanted to label all the files and directories recursively starting from a certain directory, use this command:
|
$ cleartool mklabel -r TEST_LABEL /vob/test/a Created label "TEST_LABEL" on "/vob/test/a" version "/main/2". Created label "TEST_LABEL" on "/vob/test/a/b.txt" version "/main/1". Created label "TEST_LABEL" on "/vob/test/a/c" version "/main/3". Created label "TEST_LABEL" on "/vob/test/a/c/d.txt" version "/main/1". |
|---|
If you want to make sure no one deletes or moves the label or deletes any versions labeled, you may lock the label using this command:
| $ cleartool lock lbtype:TEST_LABEL |
|---|
