7.1 Displaying Properties of a Replica

The describe command, which is available in cleartool and multitool, displays the properties of a replica. Use the -fmt option to customize the output from the command. See the fmt_ccase reference page in the Command Reference.

For example, to display the name, master replica, and replica host of a replica:

cleartool describe -fmt "%n\t%[master]p\t%[replica_host]p\n" \
replica:boston_hub@/vobs/dev
boston_hub boston_hub@/vobs/dev minuteman

You can also display properties of a replica by using a replica-uuid-selector instead of a replica-selector argument. For example (note that the replica-uuid-selector must be entered on a single line):

cleartool describe -fmt "%n\n%[master]p\n%[replica_host]p\n" \
oid:87f6265f.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0:4b:e7@replicauuid:87f6265f.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0: 4b:e7
boston_hub
boston_hub@/vobs/dev
minuteman

On Windows, the Properties Browser displays the properties of a replica. Open the Properties Browser in one of the following ways:

• From Windows Explorer:

1. Navigate to the VOB.

2. Right-click the VOB and click ClearCase > Properties of VOB.

3. Click the Replicas tab.

4. Select the replica and click Replica Properties.

• From ClearCase Administration Console:

1. Navigate to All VOBs.

2. Click View > List.

3. Right-click the VOB and click Properties.

4. Click the Replicas tab.

5. Select the replica and click Replica Properties.

• From a command prompt:

cleardescribe replica:replica-selector

cleartool describe -graphical replica:replica-selector

For example:

cleardescribe replica:boston_hub@\dev

cleartool describe -graphical replica:sanfran_hub@\tests
