The mkactivity command creates an activity. Activities track the work you do in completing a development task. An activity consists of a headline, which describes the task, and a change set, which identifies all versions of elements that are created or modified by work on the activity.
Each stream can have one current activity, which records any changes being made. Use -nset if you do not want to use an activity immediately. To begin recording changes in an activity, issue a setactivity command from a view that is attached to the activity's stream.
When executed in a view that is associated with a project enabled for ClearQuest, this command generates an error. The correct way to create an activity is to use the setactivity command, specifying a ClearQuest record ID as the activity-selector.
Identities: No special identity required.
Locks: An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: the project VOB.
Mastership: (Replicated VOBs only) No mastership restrictions.
ASSIGNING A HEADLINE TO AN ACTIVITY. Default: The activity's name as specified by the activity-selector argument.
SPECIFYING THE STREAM. Default: The stream attached to the current view.
SETTING THE CURRENT ACTIVITY. Default: If one activity is created with this command: the newly created activity. If more than one activity is created or any number of activities is created outside a view context: none.
CONFIRMATION STEP. Default: Prompts for confirmation of a generated name for the activity if no name is specified by activity-selector.
NAMING THE ACTIVITY. Default: If one activity is created with this command: a generated name. If more than one activity is created: none.
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.
Create an activity, but do not set it to be the current activity for the view.
