Can variables be used in the ClearCase configuration specification?

Question

For example, instead of writing the following:

element * .../my_branch_01/LATEST
element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch my_branch_01

I would like to write something like this:

MY_BRANCH=my_branch_01
element * .../%MY_BRANCH%/LATEST
element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch %MY_BRANCH%

Is it possible? What is the correct syntax?

Answer 1

The only way to do this in ClearCase is to use the attribute in config-spec .

According to the rules of the version selector, you can make a “select on demand” rule based, for example, on an attribute:

element * ...{MY_ATTRIBUTE_NAME=="aValue"}

will select the version LATESTfor any branch with the attribute ' MY_ATTRIBUTE_NAME' c aValue'.
