Searching for moved labels in clearcase ...

[Martin]

I was wondering if there is a command in clearcase that allows one to
detect lables that have been moved from one version to another. I
don't think moving of labels in among the list of events or activities
captured in clearcase in the history of a file or element; however I
am posting this question if there is any other options or past
experiences by others on this. Thanks.

Martin, don't think there is, no. I'm not even sure it's possible, since the
labels don't get stored in the version history of the element. The
information *might* be stored with the label - everything's UCM here, so I
can't check. Best bet would be to phone Rational support and ask them!

But it is ;-)

Creating and removing labels are minor events, so you'll have to use "ct lsh
-minor" on every element. A label move results in two events (remove and
make label) and CC is fortunately smart enough to put an additional comment
to each of those events. So you could add "-fmt "%e. %c\n" to the above.

Example: ct lsh -minor -fmt "%e. %c\n" Rats.svi|grep label|grep Moved
remove label "HDR_SL43_TMP2" from version. Moved label "HDR_SL43_TMP2" to
version "/main/hdr_release/90".
make label "HDR_SL43_TMP2" on version. Moved label "HDR_SL43_TMP2" from
version "/main/hdr_release/89".

HTH...

Remember however that minor events get scrubbed, so that this will
only work for recent label moves -- often enough.

Aaahh .. I stand corrected. Shows I'm a UCM admin, I guess :-)
