To start a rebase operation

About this task

If you work in a multiple-stream UCM project, you rebase your work area to stay up-to-date with the work from other developers.

After you prepare your development view, you can start the rebase operation (more information is available on preparing your development view).

By default, in a multiple-stream project, you rebase your development stream either to baselines recommended by the parent stream or to baselines created by the parent. Typically, these recommended baselines are created by other streams in the project.

In a single-stream project, an integrator rebases the integration stream to identify a major project milestone (more information is available on rebasing in a single-stream project).

To start the rebase operation, do one of the following:
  • Enter the following command from your development view:
    cleartool rebase -graphical
  • In HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer, right-click the root directory of the development view and click Rebase Stream.
  • In Windows Explorer, right-click the root directory of the development view and click VersionVault > Rebase Stream.

The Rebase Stream Preview window opens.
