Ask a question

Is there an RTC SCM procedure for Add/Edit/Del a file?

Good afternoon Jazz community,
In a world without an RTC eclipse client how would one:
Add
Edit
Delete

A file?

I've spent some time looking at various help documentation on the web, RTC Eclipse client, and going through various scm "help" <subcommand>

Since this can be done in ClearCase, Perforce, CVS, and most SCM tools I'm confident this functionality is out there.. I just can't find it..

Thanks,
Bill

I know this is a pretty old question by now (January 2014), but it was never really answered. RTC 4.x ships with a command line program, lscm, that can be used in a manner similar to other SCM tools such as git and subversion.

You can find a Rosetta Stone between RTC, SVN, and git at:

I also wrote an article a couple of months ago on how to work on JazzHub projects without the client:

This command line tool is in addition to the Orion web-based editor on JazzHub, which means you may never need to download the project code to your machine and can do everything through a web browser on a machine such as a chromebook or an iPad.

Looks like I am unable to provide an answer. Hence posting a comment.

For editing the file in RTC eclipse client, you need to mention the file extension as given below. This would allow you to edit and save which inturn will reflect under "Pending Changes".

 

1. Open Window Menu

2. Open Preferences

3. Expand Team

4. Expand Jazz Source Control

5. Click File properties

6. Mention the file extension which you want to add under relevant Resource option. Ex: SQL file extensions can be added as it is not a default option.

7. Click apply and ok button.

Bill,

As Tim indicated, we do have a command line tool but the easiest way to
perform the operations you mentioned on a single file is through the
Source Control Web UI. When you log into the RTC Web UI, there is a
Source Control tab. From there, you can navigate to the workspace or
stream containing the file you want to edit and perform the operations
from there.
