The mkstream command creates a stream for use with a UCM project. A stream consists of a name, a set of baselines that configure the stream, and a record of the set of activities associated with the stream.
There are two kinds of streams with UCM projects:
To create an integration stream, you must specify its project. Note that a project's integration stream must be present before a development stream can be created.
To create a development stream, you must specify a stream as its parent. Specifying a project is equivalent to specifying the project's integration stream. By default, the development stream delivers to the integration stream and rebases from recommended baselines of the integration stream. If you specify a development stream as its parent, the stream becomes the child of that development stream and delivers to and rebases from its parent.
Optionally, you can assign the stream a set of foundation baselines. Foundation baselines specify a stream's configuration by selecting the file and directory versions that are accessible in the stream.
Streams are accessed through views (see mkview –stream). A stream can have more than one view attached to it.
You can set or unset policies for integration streams or development streams. Note that the project's policy settings take precedence over the stream's settings, unless –spolicy is used in the project to allow individual streams to control the policy. Table 9 describes these policies and lists the keywords used to set them. For more information about setting policies, see Managing Software Projects.
Policy | Keyword |
---|---|
Skip permission checking to allow any user to modify a stream with chstream or a baseline with chbl. | POLICY_CHSTREAM_UNRESTRICTED |
Require a development stream to be based on the current recommended baselines of its parent stream before it can deliver changes to the parent stream. | POLICY_DELIVER_REQUIRE_REBASE |
Do not allow delivery from a development stream that has checkouts. | POLICY_DELIVER_NCO_DEVSTR |
Allow a deliver operation from a stream in the same project to include changes from the stream's foundation baselines. | POLICY_INTRAPROJECT_DELIVER _FOUNDATION_CHANGES |
Allow a deliver operation from a stream in the same project to contain changes in components that are not included in the target stream's configuration. The changes in the missing components are not delivered.1 | POLICY_INTRAPROJECT_DELIVER _ALLOW_MISSING_TGTCOMPS |
Allow a stream from a different project to deliver changes from its stream to this stream. | POLICY_INTERPROJECT_DELIVER |
Allow a deliver operation from a stream in a different project to include changes from the stream's foundation baselines. This policy is ignored if interproject delivery is disabled. | POLICY_INTERPROJECT_DELIVER _FOUNDATION_CHANGES |
Require a deliver operation from a stream in a different project to deliver changes in all components. This policy is ignored if interproject delivery is disabled.[a] | POLICY_INTERPROJECT_DELIVER _REQUIRE_TGTCOMP_VISIBILITY |
Allow a deliver operation from a stream in a different project to contain changes in components that are not modifiable in the target stream's configuration. The changes in the nonmodifiable components are not delivered. This policy is ignored if interproject delivery is disabled. | POLICY_INTERPROJECT_DELIVER _ALLOW_NONMOD_TGTCOMPS |
Defaults are different for intraproject and interproject deliver operations. |
To provide some users with read-only access to a set of baselines, you can create a special type of development stream with the option –readonly. You cannot deliver to or from this stream, but you can rebase it. Read-Only streams are not restricted by the normal rebase rules. In the view attached to a Read-Only stream, you can create DOs and other view-private files, but you cannot make any changes to components.
To create a read-only stream, your UCM VOBs and PVOBs must be at feature level 3 or greater.
No special identity required.
An error occurs if there are locks on any of the following objects: the UCM project VOB, the project, the parent stream (for development streams).
project-selector is of the form [project:]project-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the project's project VOB.
stream-selector is of the form [stream:]stream-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the stream's project VOB.
baseline-selector is of the form [baseline:]baseline-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the baseline's project VOB.
The following restrictions apply to the specified baselines:
stream-selector is of the form [stream:]stream-name[@vob-selector] and wherevob-selector specifies the project VOB of a different project.
You can specify the stream as a simple name or as an object selector of the form [stream:]name@vob-selector, where vob-selector specifies a project VOB (see the cleartool reference page). If you specify a simple name and the current directory is not a project VOB, this command assumes the stream resides in the project VOB that is associated with the current view. If the current directory is a project VOB, that project VOB is the context for identifying the stream.
The stream name must be unique within the PVOB. All UCM objects share the same namespace. You'll get an error if the name you provide collides with the name of an existing UCM object, for example, a project.
The UNIX 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 shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.
Note: In the UNIX examples that follow, arguments and output that show multicomponent VOB tags are not applicable to ClearCase LT, which recognizes only single-component VOB tags. In this manual, a multicomponent VOB tag is by convention a two-component VOB tag of the form /vobs/vob-tag-leaf—for example, /vobs/src. A single-component VOB tag consists of a leaf only—for example, /src. In all other respects, the examples are valid for ClearCase LT.
