how to merge new folder from a sub branch to the main branch in clearcase?


How can I merge a newly created folder in a sub branch to the main branch?

I went to the version tree and did create merge by drawing.

But it still I cannot see the folder in main branch and the version on main branch is 0.

Can someone help?


Solution

  • Merging only the folder (by drawing a red arrow between the version of the folder and the destination branch) is not enough.

    That new folder has been introduced in a parent folder, which needs to be merged as well. That is what would allow you see to see that folder in the destination view.

    It is best to go to the parent folder in the destination view (the one set to create version on the destination branch) and do a findmerge from there.
    See this cleartool findmerge question.

    cd D:\bView\Folder1
    cleartool findmerge . -ftag a_view -merge
