Synopsis
- rmbl [ –c/omment comment | –cfi/le pname | –cq/uery
- | –cqe/ach | –nc/omment ] [ –f/orce ] [ –ignore ] [ –public ] baseline-selector ...
Description
The rmbl command deletes one or more baselines. Versions associated with the baseline are not deleted, only the baseline relationship among the versions.
Restrictions
Identities
You must have one of the following identities:
- Baseline owner
- Project VOB owner
- root (UNIX® and Linux®)
- Member of the VersionVault administrators group (VersionVault on Windows® only)
Locks
An error occurs if there are locks on any of the following objects: the project VOB, the baseline.
Mastership
(Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the baseline.
Other
The following restrictions apply:
- The baseline cannot serve as a foundation baseline for any stream.
- The baseline cannot be an initial baseline for a component.
- The baseline cannot be a full baseline and serve as the backstop for any incremental baseline.
- The baseline cannot be involved in a deliver operation that is in progress.
- The baseline cannot be a member of a composite baseline.
- A recommended baseline cannot be removed.
Options and arguments
Event records and comments
- Default
- Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .versionvault_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.
The comment is stored in a deletion event on the VOB object.
Confirmation step
- Default
- Prompts for confirmation that the specified baseline is to be deleted.
- –f/orce
- Suppresses the confirmation step.
Specifying the baseline
- Default
- Prevents rmbl from removing the composite and recommended baselines from the public and private VOBs.
- –ignore
- Causes rmbl to skip the searches for the composite and recommended baselines. Although specifying this option causes rmbl to run faster, it may leave some UCM objects in an unstable state.
- –public
- Prevents rmbl from removing the composite and recommended baselines from the public VOB only.
- baseline-selector ...
- Specifies one or more baselines to delete.
baseline-selector is of the form [baseline:]baseline-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the baseline'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 may 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 may 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.
