To start the Update Tool from CLI

You can start the Update Tool from the command line interface (CLI).

1. Do one of the following actions at a command prompt:
   • Change directory to the snapshot view root directory and use the following command:

     cleartool update -graphical .
     

     The Start Update window opens. The current view context is selected by default.

   • Use the following command:

     clearviewupdate
     

     The Start Update window opens. Then click Browse and select a view.

2. To have the Update Tool report the actions that it would take rather than perform the actual update, set Preview only; do not actually update the view.
3. Optionally, click Advanced and change the options that are used for hijacked files and timestamps.
4. Then click OK.
