Import Base CC to RTC, how to handle so many labels?

Hi

I need to import this base CC vob to RTC and the project wants everything.

1. There seems only one "main" branch is in use. The 1A.systemtest doesn't have any file when I set the config spec to "element * .../1A.systemtest/LATEST" (pls let me if I am wrong).

2. The build process created tons of labels. How can I migrate these labels? Do I have to create an attribute on all of them? Is there a quick way to do this?

Thanks
Jirong

First of all, they can't get "everything" ... the can only get labeled
configurations. And if you want every configuration that was ever
labeled, yes, you'd need to put the import attribute on each of the
label types (not on the labels ... on the label types).

I'd suggest writing a script to do it, rather than doing it by hand.

Cheers,
Geoff

The "lstype" command includes three predefined label types, BACKSTOP, LATEST, and CHECKEDOUT.

What's the purpose of these predefined label types? Do I need to migrate these labels?

Those are "dummy" label type for use in version-extended naming. The CC
synchronizer will not allow you to synchronize those dummy label types.
