• The component's initial baseline cannot be in use as a foundation baseline for a stream.

RESTRICTIONS

Identities: You must be the component owner, the project VOB owner, or

• UNIX-root

• ClearCase on Windows only-a member of the ClearCase group

• ClearCase LT on Windows only-the local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host

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

Mastership: The current replica must master the component.

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.

• Remove a component that contains baselines.

1. Issue the rmcomp command for a specified component:

cmd-context rmcomp parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project
Remove component "parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project"? [no] yes

cleartool: Error: Cannot remove component that has baselines other than the initial baseline.

cleartool: Error: Unable to remove component "parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project".

2. Use the lsbl command to find the baselines associated with the component:

cmd-context lsbl -component parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project
07-Sep-99.10:47:47 parser_INITIAL.109 bill "parser_INITIAL"
component: parser

07-Sep-99.10:49:06 START.109 bill "START"
component: parser

3. Remove the baseline:

cmd-context rmbl -f START.109@/usr1/tmp/foo_project
Removed baseline "START.109@/usr1/tmp/foo_project".

4. Reissue the rmcomp command:

cmd-context rmcomp -f parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project
Removed component "parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project".
