Get all versions from a specific time - ClearCase UCM

Question

We are using ClearCase UCM, and someone asked me if there is a way to get all of the versions from a specific time.

Example: Work is being done on a development str

Answer 1

The "created_since" is about find queries similar to "Find files in Clearcase view newer than a specific date?".

But in your case, it is easier to define a dynamic view, with a specific config spec time-based selection rule:

element /myPath/... .../StreamName/{!created_since(16-Sep-2009)}
element /myPath/... /main/{!created_since(16-Sep-2009)}
element /myPath/... /main/LATEST

So it would be a plain base-ClearCase dynamic view (easier to test when fiddling with the config spec: no files to load like in a snapshot view).
The fact that those files are currently managed by an UCM view in an UCM component doesn't preclude using base-ClearCase views.

The idea is to look for the versions at the right date:

• first in the StreamName branch (if those files have been checked-out)
• if not, in main branch

From there, if you want to "revert" to that content in your current UCM view, the easiest way to to re-import everything with a clearfsimport (-rmname to achieve the exact same content).
Create an UCM activity dedicated to that "re-import" in order to register all impacted files.
