9.6 Displaying Mastership Request Settings

To display the mastership request setting for a replica, branch type, or branch, use the describe command or the Mastership tab in the Properties Browser (Windows). These settings are also displayed in the Request Mastership dialog box on Windows.

By default, the output from describe shows the mastership request setting. You can also use the -fmt option and specify %[reqmaster]p to display only the mastership request setting. For example:

• To display a replica's mastership request setting:

cleartool describe replica:boston_hub@/vobs/doc
replica "boston_hub"
created 15-Aug-00.14:19:03 by Susan Goechs (susan.user@minuteman)
replica type: unfiltered
master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/doc
request for mastership: enabled

cleartool describe -fmt "%[reqmaster]p\n" replica:sanfran_hub@/vobs/dev
disabled

• To display a branch type's mastership request setting:

cleartool describe brtype:main@/vobs/doc
branch type "main"
created 15-Aug-00.14:19:03 by Susan Goechs (susan.user@minuteman)
"Predefined branch type used to represent the main branch of elements."
master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/doc
request for mastership: allowed for branch type

...

cleartool describe -fmt "%[reqmaster]p\n" brtype:boston_main@/vobs/dev

cleartool describe /vobs/doc/admin/setup.doc@@/main
branch "/vobs/doc/admin/setup.doc@@/main"
...
