Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote explains how to create an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® UCM Activity without creating, having or being set in to a UCM or non-UCM view on Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX® and Linux®.
Resolving The Problem
Prerequisites
To create an activity without having or being set in to a UCM or non-UCM view, you must first have the following information:
- The exact name, including proper punctuation and case, of the integration or development stream in which the user wishes to create the activity on.
- The exact name, including proper punctuation and case, of the project VOB
Command Syntax
The following command can be used from either a Windows, UNIX or Linux prompt from any location on the system to create a new UCM activity:
cleartool mkactivity -in <stream:stream-name@pvob_tag> <activity:activity-name@pvob-tag>
Example
Let us assume you want to create an activity called "friday_build" on a stream called "repro_dev" that is in a Project VOB named "ucmpvob" which is located on a Windows server:
C:\>cleartool mkactivity -in stream:repro_dev@\ucmpvob friday_build@\ucmpvob
Created activity "friday_build".
Note: For a developer to use this newly created activity, they will need to set to this activity using a UCM view:
M:\repro_dev>cleartool setact friday_build
Set activity "friday_build" in view "repro_dev".
