The setactivity command sets or unsets a current activity for a view. The current activity is one whose change set records your current work. Each view can have no more than one current activity. When you check out an element, it is associated with the current activity.
Before resetting to another activity, the setactivity command determines whether any elements of the current activity are checked out in the view and, if so, issues a warning before proceeding.
You can set an activity for a view while the activity is being delivered, but the changes made to the activity are not delivered.
To clear the current activity, specify a new activity or use the -none option.
You cannot reset an integration activity that is in use as part of a deliver or rebase operation (nor can you clear it with -none).
When executed in a view that is associated with a project enabled for ClearQuest, this command takes an activity-selector that is a ClearQuest recordID (for example, SAMPL123456) of an existing ClearQuest record. If the ClearQuest record is not already linked to an activity, the command causes an activity to be created and linked to the ClearQuest record.
You can stop work on an activity in these ways:
Deliver the activity to the project's integration stream.
Issue another setactivity command, specifying a different activity selector.
Use the -none option to unset the current activity in your view.
Identities: No special identity required.
Locks: An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: the project VOB, the activity.
Mastership: (Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the activity.
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.
CHOOSING A VIEW. Default: Current view context.
SPECIFYING THE ACTIVITY. Default: No default.
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.
Unset the current activity.
cmd-context setactivity -none
Cleared current activity from view java_int.
Set an activity to be the current activity.
cmd-context setactivity create_directories
Set activity "create_directories" in view "webo_integ".
