How do I retrieve previous or old version in CCRC 7.1.2

I am using CCRC 7.1.2 to access UCM project and I could not see any option in CCRC to load previous version. Version Tree tab also do not have any option to it though it shows all version.

Solution

  • The easiest way would be to make a web view in CCRC dedicated for displaying said old revision:
    You could modify its config spec in order to select what you want to see in that specific view.

    Note though that the IBM article on CCRC version tree does mention:

    Right-click the element version > go to Tools > select Show Version Tree:

    select

    The version tree will be displayed > double-click a version that is not selected by the view:

    double-click

    The file will open in its associated program or prompt you to select a program to open the file with.

    So try a double-click on an old version and see if that is enough.

    The only other alternative, since all the solutions I mention in "In ClearCase, how can I view old version of a file in a static view, from the command line?" are for cleartool (meaning full ClearCase, not light client CCRC), is to try and use the CCRC command-line.
    But I don't see a CCRC command able to get (like cleartool get) an older version though.
