clearcaseconfig-spec

How to hide folders except mentioned in config spec?

We are trying to have only few folders in our dynamic view.

For that we have written clearcase config spec like below.

element * CHECKEDOUT
element /Process/Projects/OurProject\... /main/LATEST
element "/Process/Projects/OurProject 100/..." /main/LATEST
element * /main/LATEST

But it displays all the other folder also , only thing is we are not able to open those folders. Is it possible to hide the all other folders which are not mentioned in config spec ( I know that in snapshot view we can do this by adding load rule, but we wanted it to be done in dynamic view)

Solution

  • Add 

    element /Process/Projects/* -none

    You must add that rule after the ones selecting the directories that you want:

    element * CHECKEDOUT
element /Process/Projects/OurProject\... /main/LATEST
element "/Process/Projects/OurProject 100/..." /main/LATEST
element /Process/Projects/* -none
element * /main/LATEST

    Note the '*': all the element within Projects will be ignored, but Project itself must be selected by a selection rule.

    If you used:

    element /Process/Projects/... -none

    You wouldn't see anything in Project, because Project itself would be ignored, making its content non-visible (and not eligible to the other selection rules of your config spec).
