DESCRIPTION
The chbl command modifies one or more baselines. You can modify a baseline's labeling status or assign a new promotion level to a baseline.
For information about changing the baseline's name, see rename.
Baseline Labels
Baselines can be unlabeled, incrementally labeled, or fully labeled. Only labeled baselines can be used to configure streams (see rebase and mkstream). After they are applied, baseline labels cannot be moved.
Promotion Levels
Promotion levels must be defined in the baseline's project VOB before they can be applied to baselines. For information about promotion levels, see the setplevel reference page.
The promotion levels available in a VOB can be listed by running the describe command on the UCM project VOB object.
RESTRICTIONS
Identities
You must have one of the following identities:
- Project VOB owner
- Baseline owner
- Stream owner
- root (UNIX)
- Member of the ClearCase administrators group (ClearCase on Windows only)
- Local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host (ClearCase LT on Windows only)
Setting the stream policy POLICY_CHSTREAM_UNRESTRICTED skips the permission checking. For more information on setting stream policies, see the mkstream and chstream reference pages.
Locks
An error occurs if there are locks on any of the following objects: the UCM project VOB, the baseline.
Mastership
(Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the baseline.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
Event Records and Comments
- Default
- Creates one or more event records,
with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file
(default: –nc). See the comments reference
page. Comments can be edited with chevent.
- –c·omment comment | –cfi·le comment-file-pname |–cq·uery | –cqe·ach | –nc·omment
- Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference
page.
Changing a Baseline's Labeling Status
- Default
- None.
- –inc·remental
- Changes the labeling status for an unlabeled
baseline to incremental. This option has no effect if the baseline is already
incrementally or fully labeled.
- –fu·ll
- Changes the labeling status for a baseline
from unlabeled or incremental to full. This option has no effect if the baseline
is already fully labeled. A chbl –full operation
may take a long time for components with many elements.
- –nre·curse
- By default, when –incremental and –full are
used on a composite baseline, the specified change is applied recursively
to its member baselines. The –nrecurse option
is used to prevent the default behavior. It causes the changes to apply only
to the composite baseline and not its members.
Assigning Promotion Levels
EXAMPLES
The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.
The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.
In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.
Note: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf—for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only—for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.
- Change an unlabeled baseline to be incrementally labeled. The baseline specifier includes a VOB component, which must be the baseline's project VOB.
- Change a baseline's promotion level and check the labeling status. The baseline specifier includes a VOB component, which must be the baseline's project VOB.
