DESCRIPTION

The reserve command changes the checkout status of a checked-out version of an element to reserved. A temporary reserve checkout of version event record is written to the VOB database.

RESTRICTIONS

Identities: You must have one of the following identities:

• Element owner

• Element group member

• VOB owner

• root (UNIX)

• Member of the ClearCase group (ClearCase on Windows)

• Local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host (ClearCase LT on Windows)

Locks: An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: VOB, element type, element, branch type, branch.

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

Other: There must be no reserved checkouts of the branch.

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.

SPECIFYING THE ELEMENTS.  Default: None.

-cwo·rk

Reserves each checked-out version in the change set of the current activity in your view.

pname ...

One or more pathnames, each of which specifies an element. The checkout in the current view is changed, unless you use a view-extended pathname to specify another view.

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.
