List of directories off of the root of VOB in cleartool

If I am in a vob (pwd command displays the correct vob) and lsvob <VOB_NAME> returns some info about the vob, how can I get a list of all the directories from the root? The setview command has also been run.

When I do ls, I get:

Error: Pathname is not within a VOB: "."
Solution 
  • cd /vobs/myvob
cleartool ls
# or 
cleartool find . -type d -print

    The first one lists all elements within the view.
    The other one lists all the directories.

    The OP foampile mentions:

    cleartool mount /vob/<MY_VOB>
    i tried that but got: 

    Mounting MVFS filesystem /vob/<MY_VOB>.... mount: Device busy

    The IBM page "mount: Device busy" can help.

    As long as:

    ct startview myDynamicView
ct setview myDynamicView
ct mount /vobs/MyVob
cd /vobs/MyVob
ct pwv

    gives:

    Working directory view: ** NONE ** 
Set view: <MY_VIEW_ID>

    That is not good, and would point to a faulty config spec, as the IBM technote " Accessing a ClearCase VOB's root folder yields "No such file or directory"" illustrates.
