Submitting an impact analysis query using remote build
You can query the impact analysis data from a distributed ClearCase® system using the rccbuild command.
Before you begin
- Sharing source files for impact analysis.
- Gathering initial impact analysis data.
- Creating BCL for the query as described in Using remote build for impact analysis queries.
- Constructing a query input file.
For information about using the remote build feature, see Using the Remote Build feature.
About this task
- -ft
- To specify a text-format build script that resides on the distributed system. Use this parameter to specify the text file containing BCL for the impact analysis query request. For more information about this parameter, see Specifying a local build script.
- -it
- To specify a text-format source file that resides on the distributed system. Use this parameter to specify the text file containing the query input. For more information about this parameter, see Specifying client-based source files.
- -ot
- To return query results to a text file on the distributed system. For more information about this parameter, see Returning output files to the client computer.
In the following example:
- -ft sample.jcl
- Specifies that the impact analysis BCL is contained in a text file on the distributed system named sample.jcl. See Using remote build for impact analysis queries for an example of impact analysis BCL.
- -it sample.txt
- Specifies that the query input is contained in a text file on the distributed system named sample.txt. For instructions on creating a query input file, see Constructing a query input file.
- -ot sample.out
- Specifies that the query results are to be returned to a text file on the distributed system named sample.out. For examples of impact analysis queries and the output they produce, see Remote build impact analysis query results.
