  • Project owner
  • Project VOB owner
  • root (UNIX and Linux)
  • Member of the ClearCase administrators group (ClearCase on Windows only)

–f/orce
Suppresses the confirmation step.

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 project that contains a stream.
    1. Issue the rmproject command:

      cmd-context rmproject html_parser
      Remove project "html_parser"?  [no] yes
      cleartool: Error: Cannot remove project that has streams.
      cleartool: Error: Unable to remove project "html_parser".

    2. Use lsproject –long to see a detailed description of the project, including a list of any streams contained by the project:

      cmd-context lsproject –long html_parser
      cleartool lsproject -l html_parser
      project "html_parser"

      cmd-context rmproject -force  html_parser
