To add activities to your development stream from DevOps Code ClearCase

About this task

Tip: Your organization may have policies regarding the scope of an activity. For example, your organization may specify that all activities must refer to a change request in your change request management system. After you add an activity, it remains in your stream permanently.
  • On the UNIX system or Linux, enter the following command from your development view:
    
    cleartool mkactivity [ -nset ] [ -headline description] [activity_selector] 
    

    Use the mkactivity options as follows:

    -nset
    Prevents setting your view to the activity.
    -headline
    Optionally provides a description of the activity. Creates a headline that describes the scope and purpose of the activity. If the headline contains space characters, enclose it in double quotes.
    activity-selector
    Optionally provides an alphanumeric string to use when issuing cleartool commands. The specifier must be unique within the project VOB. If you do not provide an activity selector, mkactivity prompts for confirmation of a generated name for the activity.
