• Baseline owner

• Project VOB owner

• root (UNIX)

• Member of the ClearCase group (ClearCase on Windows only)

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

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

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

Other: The following restrictions apply:

• The baseline cannot serve as a foundation baseline for any stream.

• The baseline cannot be an initial baseline for a component.

• The baseline cannot be deleted if it is a full baseline and serves as the backstop for any incremental baseline.

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.

The comment is stored in a deletion event on the VOB object.

CONFIRMATION STEP.  Default: Prompts for confirmation that the specified baseline is to be deleted.

-f·orce

Suppresses the confirmation step.

SPECIFYING THE BASELINE. Default: None.

baseline-selector ...

baseline-selector is of the form [baseline:]baseline-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the baseline'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.

• Remove a baseline.

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