How to Get Clearcase Stream Name by a Given View Path

How to get ClearCase stream name by a given view path?

You can take advantage of the -cview option of the lsstream command:

cleartool lsstream -cview

With fmt_ccase:

cleartool lsstream -fmt "%n" -cview

I like to see where this stream is located within a project, so I usually do a:

cleartool lsstream -cview -anc

How to retrieve stream name by a given view name in ClearCase UCM?

By script:

cleartool lsstream -view view_tag

See cleartool lsstream man page:

–vie/w view-tag

Displays information for the stream connected to the specified view.

How to retrieve the integration-stream that belongs to my development view

You could use a fmt_ccase query with cleartool describe, by looking at the UCM project:

cleartool descr -fmt "%[istream]Xp" project:myProject@\myPVob

If you don't have the project name ready, you can:

• get the stream from your view
• list all pvobs and find the one which includes said dev stream: the current project will be your project name, from which you can get the integration stream name.

How to list branches associated with a view in clearcase

No: only an UCM view has an associated branch (through its stream).

See "How to obtain UCM stream and baseline with cleartool?" or "How to get ClearCase stream name by a given view path?"

cleartool lsstream -fmt "%n" -cview

A non-UCM view would have any selection rules you want in its config spec.

You need to do a cleartool lsvtree /path/to/a/file (add --graph for the graphical view) in order to see its versions and the branches involved.

working in /vobs/some/path versus /view/view-tag-name/vobs/some/path

what's the difference between working in /vobs/some/path in a setview shell versus working in /view/view-tag-name/vobs/some/path in a plain shell?

Do not use cleartool setview: As I explained before, the cleartool setview command opens a subshell in which commands are supposed to be run, which can be problematic.

Working in /view/view-tag-name/vobs/some/path means you remain in your main shell, with all its properties.

what is the proper term to use when referring to the /view/view-tag-name directory?

That references the full path view root folder (inside which you are mounting vobs and accessing versions based on the view config spec and its selection rules)

In /vobs/some/path, you can still see the view you are in with cleartool pwv ("path working view").

why when I do ct lsview -l -properties -ful view-tag-name I don't see any reference to the /view/view-tag-name directory?

You are seeing the property of the view, which will then be mounted in /view/view-tag-name (on Unix) or M:\view-tag-name on Windows.

Those properties make no assumption on the runtime usage of that view, they only display static metadata (like the view storage or the view type)

command to identify the clearcase ucm view which is out of sync from stream?

Thanks VonC.

The below method is failed (stream config spec and view config spec is not in order sometimes).
cleartool catcs will return some uuid which we cannot compare with foundation baselines.
I have achieved this by comparing cleartool dump -l <streamname> output with cleartool catcs output.

Found the another method.

The ucmutil command ucmutil lspvar -pvar SUM_CSPEC_ID <streamname> will return the config_spec_id of the stream which can be compared with cleartool catcs | grep -i identity output. The config_spec_id is mentioned in view config spec as identity UCM.Stream oid:uuid@vobuuid:uuid config_spec_id in the second line.
