How to Add Missing Foundation Baselines in ClearCase

Question

So Someone from my team has deleted some foundation Baselines from an Integration Stream and now when people rebase their development stream many of the folders and files inside them are missing.

We can see those missing foundation baselines in the development streams of that Integration Stream.

So I wanted to know how I can add those missing foundation Baselines from those dev stream to int stream, we only have access to IBM ClearTeam explorer to do it.

Answer 1

we only have access to IBM ClearTeam explorer to do it.

So you still have the CCRC CLI (rcleartool) (assuming the CCRC WAN Server is upgraded to ClearCase® version 8.0.0.3 or higher)

mkbl, however, is a cleartool command only (not rcleartool) in CC8, but rcleartool mkbl does exist for CC 9.x.

You could use that to recreate your fundation baseline, assuming you can tweak a (preferable dynamic or webview) config spec to select the right versions.

Answer 2

The baseline still exists, so you should be able to rebase the integration stream to re-add the baselines. You may want to describe the baseline to find the stream the baseline was created in to be sure you know everything you need to know about it.

rcleartool rebase -baseline baseline1@/vobs/mypvob,baseline2@/vobs/mypvob

Should be enough to accomplish the job. If your int stream has a successor baseline as the foundation now, and the component is not read-only in your project, you'll get an error message. The error message should tell you more about why you can't do the rebase.
