Description
The rmcomp command deletes a component object. Elements of the component and the VOB associated with the component are not deleted.
If a UCM project lists the component that you are attempting to delete, the warning Project project-name lists this component as a modified component is displayed. If you confirm the deletion (or use –force), the component is removed from the project's list of modifiable components.
Restrictions
Identities
You must have one of the following identities:
- Component owner
- Project VOB owner
- root (UNIX and Linux)
- Member of the ClearCase administrators group (ClearCase on Windows only)
Locks
An error occurs if there are locks on any of the following objects: the component, the project VOB.
Mastership
(Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the component.
Other
There cannot be any baselines of the component other than the initial baseline, and the component's initial baseline cannot be in use as a foundation baseline for a stream.
Options and arguments
Event records and comments
- Default
- Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: –nc). See the comments reference page. Comments can be edited with chevent.
- –c/omment comment | –cfi/le comment-file-pname |–cq/uery | –cqe/ach | –nc/omment
- Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference page.
Confirmation step
- Default
- Prompts for confirmation that the specified component is to be deleted.
- –f/orce
- Suppresses the confirmation step.
Specifying the component to be deleted
- Default
- None.
- component-selector ...
- Specifies one or more components to delete.
component-selector is of the form [component:]component-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the component's project VOB.
Examples
The UNIX system and Linux examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you might need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.
The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you might need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.
In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX system and Linux shells or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.
- Remove a component that contains baselines.
- Issue the rmcomp command
for a specified component:
cmd-context rmcomp parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project Remove component "parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project"? [no] yes cleartool: Error: Cannot remove component that has baselines other than the initial baseline. cleartool: Error: Unable to remove component "parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project". - Use the lsbl command
to find the baselines associated with the component:
cmd-context lsbl –component parser@/usr1/tmp/foo_project
