I would like to uncheckout list of elements in hierarchical manner
Ie: Lt say folder1 & folder2, folder3 are framed in hierarchical basis:
folder3 is child,folder2 is parent,folder1 is grand parentI would like to uncheckout child first then parent then garand parent:
how I can become to know which one is parent and which one is grand parent?
Leads are welcomed.
You would need to write a script which walks all elements of each folder, starting with the one having the most depth: "F3".
The script would then go one level up (possibly F2) and repeat the process for all elements, except subfolders.
And then one level up, until you get to F1.
In each folder, you can combine cleartool find -exec with the unco command in order to automate the ct unco step.
See "How do I perform a recursive checkout using ClearCase?" (except in your case, it is unco, with files first, folders second)
Reminder: unco means unco files first, and then only then: unco folders.
