• Component 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 component, the project VOB.

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

Other: There cannot be any baselines of the component other than the initial baseline, and the component's initial baseline cannot be in use as a foundation baseline for a stream.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

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