Creates problem report for Rational Customer
Support
SYNOPSIS
- clearbug [ –s·hort ]
[ –p bug-priority ] [ –r yes/no ]
- [ –l alternate-logfile-name ]
DESCRIPTION
clearbug gathers information
from your current processing context: date/time, version of operating system,
versions of ClearCase or ClearCase LT tools, your UNIX and ClearCase
or ClearCase LT contexts, system error logs, and so on. It sends this
information to stdout, from which you can paste it
into a problem report for Rational Customer Support. Run clearbug from
a directory somewhere below the root of the VOB in question, so that the view
and VOB information are recorded.
clearbug is self-documenting,
displaying detailed instructions before it prompts you for information. clearbug first
prompts you for the priority of the bug and whether it is reproducible, then
gathers the following information:
- System
information
- Version
numbers of ClearCase or ClearCase LT programs
- User
and group information
- Working
directory pathname
- VOB
information (from describe)
- View
information
- Information
about mounts
- Active
VOBs on the current machine
- The
last 20 lines of the system log file
Send the problem report to Rational Customer
Support.
