We're using Synergy 7.1 and Change.

Some tasks were completed and should be associated to a change request. I tried with ccm_admin role :

ccm task -a / -relate task -problem problem

but since the problem is in "concluded" state it failed.

Is there another way ?

We are planning to migrate all our vobs from Solaris to Linux server. Vobs are stored in Netapp.

I am new in overall field of Build and Release.

I have installer experience and currently working on build tool like Buildforge for carrying out daily builds and further creating installers using installshield.

In my organisation we have a separate group SCM which comes under our team BRT but have different responsibility to manage SCM tool. We use clearcase and clearquest in our organisation.

I am planning to move the IBM Flexlm License server( clearcase, clearquest,Requisite Pro)(some of them Node locked licenses) to new server in same domain.

My question is can i able to move the licenses from old server to new server, or do i need get the licenses from IBM Rational?

Please advise??

Thank you Advance!

I need to be able to isolate the branch upon which a given version of an element resides from within a script.

Is there a desc or ls command or something that will take a -fmt argument that will give me the branch?

ClearCase includes a build facility ClearMake, which is a wrapper for UNIX make I believe.

Does StarTeam have a similar built-in capability of performing builds?

Example: Could StarTeam be used to combine *.dll files into a single *.exe file? Or would some other program that contained build capabilities need to be ordered -- in addition to StarTeam -- in order to be able to perform such a build?

eg:
I have an object 'foo.c' with version 4.2 configured by Mr X and same object with same version configured by Mr Y.

How can I query for the existance of such parallel versions?

I am seriously considering taking up Perforce as our version control tool and I'd like to garner people's opinions regarding the defect management component.

The tool will be used predominantly for SCM purposes by a team of about 30. However, there will be much more people (such as business and technical testers, customer service, managers) utilising the defect management tool to raise defects, enhancements, functional and non-functional requirements, the lot.

TFS looks very impressive on paper, its a highly integrated solution that covers most bases to various degrees for everything a dev team needs in terms of version control, configuration management, builds, automation, testing, workflow, etc.

But how much is it actually used in Microsoft? The marketing material certainly boasts some impressive numbers for the adoption of TFS within Microsoft, but just how much is it used in 'anger' at Microsoft?

I want to get changeset recursively but each time get all files/folders that are not required in SVN.

Here is the scenario for better understanding.

There are total 10 folders in an application. There are 3 folders(like X,Y,Z) present at different hierarchy in the same application and each folder contains 20 files. Names of few files are same in these 3 folders. The developer change 2 any files from 3 different folders. By applying the changeset, SVN shows that mentioned 6 files along with the path are changed.
