Is this config spec good enough?

Question

I am more a UCM rather than Base CC guy. Can anyone tell me if this config spec is good?
I have some doubt at the last line. Is that ok without a element * /main/LATEST?

~~~~~~ below is the request from the developer ~~~~~~~~~

i hope to have all their changes in the /main/nz_plusOne branch, even when they check-out file from /main/nz_mig.

What does their config spec look like? I think it's something like

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * /main/nz_plusOne/LATEST
element * NVAR_NETEZZA_3 -mkbranch nz_plusOne
element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch nz_plusOne

Answer 1

You should always ends with element * /main/LATEST (a "stop" rule), because you don't know if all the elements have a version in /main/anotherBranch.

In your case, the usual config spec would be:

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * /main/nz_plusOne/LATEST
element * NVAR_NETEZZA_3 -mkbranch nz_plusOne
element * /main/0 -mkbranch nz_plusOne
element * /main/LATEST

when they check-out file from /main/nz_mig

If they have a file checked out (in any branch), you won't see that version from your view anyway (it only selects checked out version that you did in your view.
