I just installed WinMerge and checked its "Integrate with ClearCase" option. ClearCase now runs Winmerge when i execute "compare with previous version" on my java source files. However, when I run the same command on an xml file, it opens xml diff merge. How can I get it to open Winmerge instead?
See for instance "How do I integrate Beyond Compare with ClearCase?"
You need to modify
# up to ClearCase 7.0
c:\program files\rational\ClearCase\lib\mgrs
or
# ClearCase 7.1 and more
c:\program files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\lib\mgrs
See the technote swg21256807 for detail on Changing the XML Diff/Merge Type Manager.
For any type manager that uses xmldiffmrg, replace the xmldiffmrg executable with your own.
Example (not for your tool, but you get the idea):
_xml2 compare ..\..\..\..\KDiff3\KDiff3.exe
_xml2 xcompare ..\..\..\..\KDiff3\KDiff3.exe
_xml2 merge ..\..\..\..\KDiff3\KDiff3.exe
_xml2 xmerge ..\..\..\..\KDiff3\KDiff3.exe
Note: The mapfile uses a relative path from its current location to find the executable.
In this example, KDiff3 was installed to the default directory on Windows (C:\Program Files\KDiff3) thus the relative path defined in the map file reflects as such.

I installed Postgres on a Windows machine, downloaded the binary installer for PostGIS and installed it. I only have one version of Postgres, so there is no messing up possible.
Installing PostGIS using the binary installer is straight forward and you cannot mess up the installation directory either. it has to go into the Postgres directory.
Now, when I want to create the PostGIS extension I am getting the following error:
ERROR: could not open extension control file "C:/APPS/POSTGR~1/pg96/../pg96/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
********** Error **********
ERROR: could not open extension control file "C:/APPS/POSTGR~1/pg96/../pg96/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
SQL state: 58P01
Though when I go into the directory C:\APPS\PostgreSQL\pg96\share\extension then I do have a postgis.control file present.
How do I get the extension to work? I checked the content of the zipped PostGIS binaries and it looks like as if the structure is well preserved and all files are copied into the appropriate directories during the install process via the binary installer.
It seems that the case is still the same with latest versions of postgres (PostgreSQL-9.6.3-1-win64-bigsql.exe) and postgis (postgis-bundle-pg96x64-setup-2.3.2-1.exe). I copied the files around until all the paths could be resolved:
Everything from C:\PostgreSQL\pg96\share\extension to C:\PostgreSQL\pg96\share\postgresql\extension
postgis_topology-2.3.dll, postgis-2.3.dll, rtpostgis-2.3.dll, address_standardizer-2.3.dll and ogr_fdw.dll from C:\PostgreSQL\pg96\lib to C:\PostgreSQL\pg96\lib\postgresql
I am using following version of clearcase -
Rational ClearCase Remote Client Version: 7.1.2
In my attempt to checkout files and folders recursively, I read these links:
How do I perform a recursive checkout using ClearCase?
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/4687.html
The issue is I am not able to locate these bin files used in these articles:
cleartool.exe not located in (c:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe)
clearmenuadmin.exe not located in (C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\bin\clearmenuadmin.exe)
Not to mention windows search could not locate any of these files in C:\Program Files.
Please suggest what I am missing here ?
You cannot use cleartool commands with CCRC, only the GUI and CCRC/Teamapi (as in "Rational clear case CM API fail to checkout source code").
The CCRC is a ClearCase Remote Client, with none of the executables of a full ClearCase client.
Maybe the simplest way is to use Use "Environment -> ClearCase Search" GUI, to search for all elements, and select them all to checkout them.
I did a get latest from TFS.
My local path is:
C:\tfs\Project\Branch1\Config\Deployment\CopyInstallers.bat
TFS Path is:
$\Project\Branch1\Config\Deployment\CopyInstallers.bat
CopyInstallers.bat gets latest of installer folder from the branch at different location on the server and zips them and puts it on the shared location on server.
I have another branch named Branch2 and its TFS path is
$\Project\Branch2\Config\Deployment\CopyInstallers.bat
What I am trying is try to get the branch name using TF.exe or TFPT.exe, so that I should not har code the branch name in the CopyInstaller.bat file to get latest of installer folder.
Or is there any other way by which I can get to know the branch name / path with in the batch file?
Use the TF.EXE info command.
From the DOS Shell go to the directory in your workspace where the branch is located (C:\tfs\Project\Branch1\Config\Deployment)
Use the command : TF.EXE info .
Parse the result on the "Server Path:" line.
EDIT :
With Visual Studio 2010 replace the info command by the properties one

Ok: I made you a console app, get the zip file here, there's the sources code and build exe.
Tell me if it's what you expected
I am using WAMP on my local machine and I'm trying to use docblox to generate documentation for a project.
When i try to run the docblox command in my command prompt for a file that has the necessary comments, I get the error message.
C:\wamp\www\wm-ppclps>docblox run -f wm-ppclps.php -t documentation
DocBlox version 0.18.1
Starting transformation of files (this could take a while depending upon the size of your project)
ERROR: The XSL writer was unable to find your XSLTProcessor; please check if you
have installed the PHP XSL extension
I have no idea why this is error message is appearing. The command creates the documentation folder, parses the source code and it produces the structure.xml file. It just won't transform the structure into an HTML file or any other readable file.
I added the PHP install directory to my system path, I installed PEAR system wide, added PEAR install directory to my system path, installed DocBlox using the docblox pear channel, I have the necessary environment variables setup. I uncommented the php.ini line to enable the php_xsl.dll extension for WAMP and restarted WAMP. When I view the phpinfo, i see that the XSL extension is enabled (XSL version 1.1.23, compiled against libxml version 2.6.32, EXSLT enabled).
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, has come across this problem or can point me in the right direction for an answer?
The error that you are receiving means that php does not recognize the xsl extension.
Php has got a separate ini file for CLI and web; and I presume that you have enabled the xsl extension for apache only.
You can verify this by executing php -i in your command prompt and check if the xsl extension is enabled there. If not then add your dll to the right config for your WAMP.
I have CM Server for ClearCase Remote Clients in windows 2003 server.
Installed package in server.
I'm getting below error in CCRC client:
"CRVAP0087E CCRC command "checkin" failed: Unable to create pathname for
file "C:\ccweb\v973012\v973012_Latest_FMC": Permission denied"
Can you please help me to fix this issue?
The most efficient way to troubleshoot right issue is to go directly to the CCRC server, under the CCRC web (snapshot) view and type:
cd c:\ccweb\v973012
cleartool lsview -l -full -pro -cview
That way, you see with which group the user has created the CCRC view in the first place.
That group must be one of the groups associated with the Vob of the element being checked-in.
Check also this technote:
During the installation of Rational ClearCase, you are asked for a temporary directory to use during the installation to unzip large artifacts.
This temporary directory is used to preserve user configuration settings during an update or uninstall process.
If you specify a directory that is mounted on a file system that is separate from the installation directory, the file permissions and owners are not preserved when the files are moved across the file systems.
Finally, check for any trigger set on the Vob: they can have an unwanted side-effect with that CCRC 'checkin' operation.
In the specific case of the OP mth123, he suggests:
Go to the Windows Explorer and try these steps:
Go the the following directory: C:\ccweb
Rename the folder v123412 to V123412 (Only change the first letter and put "V" capitalized.)
Check if the problem is solved.
So depending on the actual tag of the view, this could be an issue about case-sensitive path.
The latest patch caused this issue. While applying patch CC preserving some file inclusing ccweb folder. while restoring those folder during post install these directory might have changed with lowercase/upper case. This is currently with IBM queue.
If you are going to upgrade CCRC please make a copy of ccweb directory with proper ACL or use ccopy.exe (clearcase utility)
