rmbl

Removes a UCM baseline

APPLICABILITY

ClearCase UCM (cleartool subcommand)

SYNOPSIS

rmbl [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le pname | -cq·uery | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment ]

[ -f·orce ] baseline-selector ...

DESCRIPTION

The rmbl command deletes one or more UCM baselines. Versions associated with the baseline are not deleted, only the baseline relationship among versions.

The following restrictions apply:

• The baseline cannot be a foundation baseline, a baseline referred to by a stream's selection list.
• The baseline cannot be an initial baseline for a component.
• The baseline cannot be deleted if a stream has made changes based on it
• The baseline cannot be deleted if it is in use as the basis for an incremental baseline

PERMISSIONS AND LOCKS

Permissions Checking: You must be the owner of the baseline, the VOB owner, or a member of the ClearCase group.

Locks: An error occurs if there are locks on any of the following objects: the UCM project VOB, the baseline.

Mastership: The baseline must be locally mastered.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

EVENT RECORDS AND COMMENTS. Default: Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: -nc). See CUSTOMIZING COMMENT HANDLING in the comments reference page. Comments can be edited with chevent.

-c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment

Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference page.

The comment is stored in a deletion event on the VOB object.

-f·orce

By default, the rmbl command prompts for confirmation before deleting a baseline. The -force option suppresses the confirmation step.

baseline-selector ...

Specifies one or more baselines to delete.

baseline-selector is of the form: [baseline:]baseline-name[@vob-selector] and vob is the baseline's UCM project VOB.

EXAMPLES

Examples including wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the command interpreter prompt. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.
