Controlling the use of the Delete function in ClearCase Explorer

The Delete function within ClearCase Explorer and CCRC can be used in two different ways resulting in the same affect:

1. Use of the Delete key on the keyboard
   
   
2. Use of the Delete content menu:
   
   

The Delete function in either case performs a cleartool rmname, which removes that element from the directory version.

Example Trigger

To prevent users from over using the Delete function or to control its usage, create a trigger in each VOB that will prevent the rmname operation from running.

cleartool mktrtype -element -all -preop rmname -nuser vobadmin -nc -exec "ccperl -e die() " NO_RMNAME
