Loading only Modified Component through Clearcase UCM Plugin + Jenkins

Question

My clearcase project has been configured with multiple components (20 components) , So when i tried to download the snapshot view from Jenkins it is downloading the whole code base for all the components which is nearly 10 GB.

But i don't need all the components to be downloaded so do we have any plugin or configuration to control this. Also once i downloaded the whole code first time i am trying to get the latest baseline code for second time which also takes more time. So i need some solution to get only the modified components.

Note : Clearcase team is maintaining only one baseline for all the components(Stream).

Answer 1

A snapshot view only download what its loading rules tell it to.

You can check those rules with:

cd /path/to/snapshot/view
cleartool catcs

Do a cleartool edcs to edit those rules and load only the component you need.
Once you have done that, Jenkins, when using the same view, will only loads what you have specified.
