In CCRC we have a "MainBranch" from main Branch we took a branch named "branch1" with label "label1" and we started checking into that.
The main branch also having a label with the same label name "label1".So we created another label "label2" in the same branch "branch1" and checked in some code into that.
Is it possible to rename "label1" to "label2" in branch1 without affecting the codes in "mainBranch" ? so that we will get the entire codes under same label. If any other way to solve this issue please suggest
A label references a collection of ClearCase versions (files and directories), and is used in a (CCRC web view) config spec (like this one) to start a branch.
It should be immutable (meaning the content it references should never change)
So you cannot renaming an existing label without affecting an existing views, with version created in branch1 from label1 which would no longer be visible/accessible after renaming the label label2.
Simply keep working in branch1 as it is defined, or merge branch1 in MainBranch, then create a new label and a new branch from there.
