I have a script which needs to use cleartool lsactivity -fmt command:
$ctoolcmd = "cleartool lsactivity -fmt \"%[headline]p\" $newactivity";
$newheadline = `$ctoolcmd`;
Unfortunately, I am using CCRC and hence it does not support '-fmt' for 'lsactivity' command. Is there any other way I can achieve the same result with rcleartool command?
You might then need to use cleartool describe instead of lsactivity.
Note: rcleartool does not support UCM object selectors, as I mentioned in 2012.
-fmt might not be supported with describe as well, but you could grep its output in order to extract the headline.
Test if a rcleartool describe activityName@\aPVob yields enough in its output, or if the activity: UCM selector is required (in which case, again, rcleartool would not support it)
That should work: the documentation mentions:
UCM objects
Provides information on UCM objects: activities, baselines, components, folders, projects, and streams.
This form of the command displays information similar to that displayed by the UCM commands
lsactivity –long,lsbl –long,lscomp –long,lsfolder –long,lsproject –long, andlsstream –long.
An lsact -long (which you can achieve with rcleartool describe anActivity@\aPvob) should include the headline, but again, you will have to parse and extract it from the output of this command.
