Listing an AdminVOB hyperlink

To find out whether a VOB is part of an administrative VOB hierarchy, you can list its AdminVOB hyperlink.

About this task

To list an AdminVOB hyperlink, use the HCL VersionVault Administration Console or the cleartool describe command. The describe command shows any AdminVOB hyperlink from a VOB to its superior in the administrative VOB hierarchy. The following examples show AdminVOB hyperlinks.

Example

  • VOB \dev, whose administrative VOB is \admin_dev

    cleartool describe vob:\dev
    versioned object base "\dev"
    ...
      Hyperlinks:
        AdminVOB -> vob:\admin_dev

  • Administrative VOB \admin with links from two lower-level VOBs

    cleartool describe vob:\admin
    versioned object base "\admin"
    ...
      Hyperlinks:
        AdminVOB <- vob:\admin_dev
        AdminVOB <- vob:\admin_re

  • A VOB that is in the middle of a hierarchy (has an AdminVOB hyperlink pointing to its superior in the hierarchy and has an AdminVOB hyperlink pointing to it from a lower-level VOB)

    cleartool describe vob:\admin_dev
    versioned object base "\admin_dev"
    ...
      Hyperlinks:
        AdminVOB -> vob:\admin
        AdminVOB <- vob:\dev

To display the hyperlink ID, use cleartool describe –long. The hyperlink ID includes the VOB tag of the VOB in which the hyperlink was created. For example:

cleartool describe –long vob:\admin_dev
...
  Hyperlinks:
    AdminVOB@40@\admin_dev -> vob:\admin
    AdminVOB@40@\dev <- vob:\dev
