Synchronizing multiple streams with the clearcase connector


jim herron (814427) | asked Feb 15 '10, 8:14 a.m.
I have been successfully synchronizing R1.0 streams (Base ClearCase and RTC) for some time now

R1.1 and R2.0 streams have been created created from a R1.0 snapshot (in RTC), and I now want to create theR1.1 and R2.0 streams in ClearCase and synchronize both.

If I understand the CC connector, There is no way to create a synch stream if the elements already exist in both repositories. What am I missing? Is there a way to synchronize these new streams?

Hi Jim,

Yes, you can synchronize these new streams.
Create a CC-R1.1 and CC-R2.0 stream in ClearCase.
Then create synchronization streams for these two streams, creating RTC
streams RTC-CC-R1.1 and RTC-CC-R2.0.
Then deliver the changes from R1.1 to RTC-CC-R1.1 and deliver the
changes from R2.0 to RTC-CC-R2.0.

Now you have two choices. Either:

- Periodically deliver the changes from RX.X stream to the RTC-CC-RX.X
stream (performing any merges needed first), and then deliver the result
back to the RX.X stream.

- Or, start using the RTC-CC-RX.X stream, instead of the RX.X stream (in
this case, probably best to delete the RX.X stream, and possibly rename
the RTC-CC.RX.X stream to be just RX.X)

Note that in general, if you know that a stream is going to be
synchronized, it is simpler to create the stream in ClearCase first, and
then use the CC Synchronizer to create the corresponding stream in Jazz.
Note that the ClearCase stream can be empty, i.e. all the work can be
initially done in the Jazz stream, and then synchronized back to ClearCase.

Cheers,
Geoff
