Is it possible to setup a generic stream/view for building releases from any baseline?

Is there a way to set up a single stream/view that can be used to build releases from any existing baseline (new and old) on any stream of a ClearCase UCM project?

Solution

  • What I usually use is a base ClearCase dynamic view, in order to quickly change baselines in its config spec.
    A baseline is a label put on every files of a component, so the config spec would be:

    element /vob/Component/... MY_BASELINE
element * /main/LATEST

    Note that it will only work with fully labeled baselines (and not incremental baselines)

    You can use also a snapshot view, for the compilation will be quicker (but you will have to support the update download time)
