SPECIFYING THE DESTINATION OF 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], where vob-selector specifies the folder's 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.

• 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".
