Our clearcase installation has multiple branches covering many years of development. I'm trying to search for a specific file (or part file name) and it could be on a branch that has never been merged back to the integration or MAIN branch. Branch structure can be main/branch1 and also main/integration/branch2
Any thing i've seen on cleartool find needs a view but i've not be able to get a catch all config spec.
Any suggestions. Thanks
The cleartool find command does not depend always on a view config spec:
find [ pname... ] –a/ll [ –vis/ible | –nvi/sible ]
You can also start with all objects in one or more VOBs, regardless of they are visible in a particular view
So you can use options -all and -nvis in order to search for all elements.
The view gives context for the command find to find the right vob (base on the pname argument.
The -nvis option will find elements, along with their branches and versions, that are not visible (do not have a standard path name) in the view.
