CCRC CLI lsactivity command

Question

I have installed CCRC 7.1.1 with CLI. I was trying to get the list of activities using rcleartool command bit I could not find lsactivity command.
Is there any equivalent command or any indirect way to achieve this targetM

Also there is no -fmt option for "rcleartool desc" command?
This was a very useful option in UCM but could not find in CCRC. Please help me with equivalent command in CCRC.

Thanks, Raghav

Answer 1

The commands supported by rcleartool are listed here.
They don't include lsact.

A potential workaround (not tested) would be to use describe -fmt. (see fmt_ccase, and the describe command)

rcleatool descr -fmt "%[activities]CXp" aStream@\aPVob

(supported only in CCRC 9.0.0)

That should list all activities for a given stream.
I doubt however it can work, because, even though -fmt seems supported (because not listed in the limitations)...

The following limitations affect rcleartool describe:

• Version-extended pathnames are not supported
• UCM object selectors are not supported
• The following Base ClearCase object selectors are not supported: trigger-type, pool, hlink-type, oid-obj

If that is true for CCRC 7.1.1, then there is no workaround for now.

Actually:

• The OP Raghava Reddy reports that -fmt itself isn't supported (as he indicated originally in his question) in 2012. It is supported in 2019.

    rcleartool desc command  
    CRCLI1022E Unrecognised option: "-fmt". 
    Usage: desc/ribe [-username user-name][-ser/ver server-url][-pas/sword user-password] 
                     [-l/ong | -s/hort] [-ala/bel {label-type-selector[,...] | -all}]
                     [-aat/tr {attr-type-selector[,...] | -all}] 
                     [-ahl/ink {hlink-type-selector[,...] | -all}] 
                     { [-cvi/ew] [-pre/decessor] pname ... | 
                       -type type-selector ... | -cact | object_selector ...}

• The CCRC help page on lsact only mentions the GUI, no CLI alternatives:

To browse existing activities in the ClearCase UCM Activities view,

• click the
  
  UCM activities icon My Activities item of a UCM ClearCase view in the ClearCase Navigator,
• or double-click the My Activities item in a ClearCase Details view.

The ClearCase UCM Activities view opens and displays a list of your activities in the stream.

I see -fmt option supported by rcleartool desc command (CCRC version 9.0.0):

path/to/my/vob>rcleartool desc -fmt
    CRCLI2037E "-fmt" must be specified.
    Usage: des/cribe [-l/ong | -s/hort | -fmt fmt-string]
            [-ala/bel {label-type-selector[,...] | -all} ]
            [-aat/tr {attr-type-selector[,...] | -all} ]
            [-ahl/ink {hlink-type-selector[,...] | -all}
            { [-cvi/ew] [-pre/decessor] pname ... | -type type-selector ... | -cac/t | object-selector ...}
