chfolder

Modifies a UCM folder

APPLICABILITY

SYNOPSIS

chfolder [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |

-cq·uery | -cqe·ach |-nc·omment ]
{ [ -tit·le title ] [ -to to-folder-selector ] }
folder-selector ...

DESCRIPTION

The chfolder command modifies one or more UCM folders. Use it for these tasks:

• To change the title of a folder

• To move a folder to another location in the folder hierarchy of a project VOB. The RootFolder cannot be moved.

Note that changing a folder's title does not affect its name (its unique identifier). See rename for related information.

RESTRICTIONS

Identities: No special identity required.

Locks: An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: the folder, the UCM project VOB.

Mastership: (Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the folder.

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 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.

ASSIGNING A NEW TITLE. Default: None.

-tit·le title

Specifies the new title for the folder. The title argument can be a character string of any length. Use double quotes to enclose a title with special characters.

MOVING A FOLDER. Default: None.

-to to-folder-selector

Specifies the new parent folder. The to-folder and the folder you are moving must belong to the same UCM project VOB.

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

SPECIFYING THE FOLDER TO CHANGE. Default: None.

folder-selector ...

Specifies one or more folders to modify. RootFolder cannot be moved.

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

EXAMPLES

The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include 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 UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

NOTE: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf-for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only-for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.

Assign a new title to the Parsers folder. Note the VOB component of the folder-specifier must be the folder's project VOB.

cmd-context chfolder -title "Team Parser Projects" Parsers@/vobs/core_projects
Changed folder "Parsers@/vobs/core_projects".

• Make the folder Core_Parsers a subfolder of RootFolder. Note that the folder's project VOB is given as the VOB component of the folder-specifier.

cmd-context chfolder -to RootFolder Core_Parsers@/vobs/core_projects
Changed folder "Core_Parsers@\vobs\core_projects".
