Synopsis

rmrolemap [ –c/omment comment | –cfi/le pname | –cq/uery | –cqe/ach | –nc/omment ]: rolemap-selector ...

Description

The rmrolemap removes rolemaps from the current VOB.

Restrictions

Authorization

The principal must have the following permissions:

read-info on VOB object
read-name on rolemap
delete on rolemap
rmrolemap: only possible if no objects are protected by the rolemap.

Locks

An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: VOB, rolemap.

Mastership

(Replicated VOBs only) Not applicable; see Additional restrictions

Additional restrictions

A rolemap cannot be removed if it protects any objects.
You cannot remove rolemaps form a replicated VOB.

Options and arguments

Event records and comments

Default: Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .versionvault_profile file (default: –cqe). 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.

Specifying the rolemap

Default: None.

rolemap-selector: The rolemap that is to be removed.

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.

Remove a rolemap; do not prompt for confirmation.
cmd-context cleartool rmrolemap -force DeveloperRolemap
