Applying a label to multiple resources

Apply an instance of an existing label type to multiple Rational ClearCase resources at the same time.
Before you begin
You must connect to a Rational ClearCase server to apply labels.
About this task
If you want to apply one label to many ClearCase resources, you can use the Apply Label wizard to apply the label to all of the resources at the same time. For resources that are loaded in your view, the Apply Label wizard labels the loaded versions of the resources you select. If you select resources that are not loaded in your view, the Apply Label wizard selects the versions to label based on the config spec of a view that you select. For example, if you choose a /main/LATEST view, the label is applied to the latest version of each resource that is not loaded in your view.
  1. Start the Apply Label wizard using one of the following methods:
    • Use the ClearCase Navigator view and the ClearCase Details view to select the label type that you want to apply, then right-click the label type and select Apply Label. The Apply Label wizard - select resources page opens.
    • Select one or more ClearCase resources within the context of a ClearCase view, then right-click and select Apply Label.
  2. Depending on the method you used you start the Apply Label wizard, one of the following windows opens first. Complete all required steps and any optional steps that you want to complete.
