rmmerge

Removes a merge arrow from an element's version tree

APPLICABILITY

ClearCase (cleartool subcommand), Attache (command)

SYNOPSIS

rmmerge [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery

| -cqe·ach | -nc·omment ]
from-pname to-pname

DESCRIPTION

The rmmerge command deletes an existing merge arrow (a hyperlink of the predefined type Merge) between two versions of an element. Thus, this command is a specialized form of the rmhlink command. The two commands have an identical result; they differ only in the way you specify the merge arrow:

• With rmhlink, you specify the merge arrow itself, using a hyperlink selector.
• With rmmerge, you specify the versions linked by the merge arrow.

To list existing merge arrows, use the describe command, or use the find command with the hltype primitive. For example:

cmd-context describe util.c
version "util.c@@\main\3"
created 05-Apr-99.17:01:12 by Allison (akp.user@starfield)
element type: text_file
Hyperlinks:
Merge@148@\users\tmp\poolwk
 c:\users\tmp\poolwk\src\util.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix\1 ->
 c:\users\tmp\poolwk\src\util.c

Renaming the Merge Hyperlink Type

Renaming the predefined hyperlink type for merge arrows does not defeat rmmerge. You specify the element's versions; rmmerge then determines the hyperlink type used for merge arrows in that element's VOB.

PERMISSIONS AND LOCKS

Permissions Checking: For each object processed, you must be one of the following: element group member, element owner, VOB owner, member of the ClearCase group. See the permissions reference page.

Locks: An error occurs if any of the following objects are locked: VOB, element type, element, branch type, branch, hyperlink type.

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.

SPECIFYING THE VERSIONS.  Default: None.

from-pname, to-pname

Extended pathnames of the versions connected by the merge arrow. The order in which you specify the versions is important: the source version first, the target version second.

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.

• Remove the merge arrow between the latest version on the rel2_bugfix branch and the version of util.c in the view.

cmd-context rmmerge util.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix\LATEST util.c
Removed merge from "util.c@@\main\rel2_bugfix\1" to "util.c".
