LKBEN10906: Howto update all clearcase streams from a cmd file at once. This can be used in autostart.


Symptom

You would like to automatically update all your clearcase development streams at once.

Cause

Clearcase is a nice CVS (concurrent versioning system) but lacks this option.

Solution

The following batch program can be used to update all clearcase streams you are working with.

-----

echo off
rem echo ACHTUNG WARTEN MIT ABHOLEN!!!!
rem echo Wim
rem pause
c:
cd \projects

rem we search all the streams a user has
rem cleartool lsview |find /i "%username%" > c:\temp\allstreams.txt
dir /B c:\projects > c:\temp\allstreams.txt

echo going through all the streams
echo -----------------------------

for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=.:, " %%a IN (c:\temp\allstreams.txt) do (
echo %%a
cleartool update -log c:\temp\%%a.log %%a
)

for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=.:, " %%a IN (c:\temp\allstreams.txt) do (
echo %%a
notepad c:\temp\%%a.log
)
