As title, I'd like to list all the files with a given label under a directory. Which clearcase command can help me to do that ?
cleartool find is a good start.
You can execute those anywhere within your (snapshot or dynamic) view
To generate the list of those elements which contain a version with a predetermined label (REL1) attached, use the following syntax of the cleartool find command:
UNIX and Linux:
% cleartool find -all -element '{lbtype_sub(REL1)}' -print
Windows:
cleartool find -all -element "{lbtype_sub(REL1)}" -print
There is also a graphical way to find objects with a certain label called Report Builder (also known in ClearCase Explorer as Report Wizard). In Report Builder you can navigate to Elements/Labels which has the "Elements with Labels" and "Versions with Labels" reports. After the report runs you have the option to save the results as HTML, XML, or CSV.

I want to find objects that have not got a LABEL in any version.
I can check if any object has a LABEL in its LATEST version with following command :
cleartool find . -version "version(/main/LATEST) && !lbtype(MYLABEL)" -print
And this command also lists all versions :
cleartool find . -version "!lbtype(MYLABEL)" -print
I want the object list that has not got label (MYLABEL) in any versions. How can I do this?
You can first try looking for elements instead (with the lbtype_sub query primitive):
cleartool find . -ele "!lbtype_sub(MYLABEL)" -print
See "Additional examples of the cleartool find command"
About *_sub query primitives
When using the ClearCase find command in what circumstances should the *_sub query primitives (attype_sub, label_sub and attr_sub) be used instead of just lbtype or attype?
When the type being queried does not apply to the "level" (-element -branch -version) being queried.
For example, query for a label using -element: labels are only on versions within elements
(you can limit to files only with -type f, or folders only with with -type -d)
If that does not work would recommend a three steps process.
find all the elements (file or folder) that have one version with that label
find all the elements
remove the first elements from the second list
The end result is what you are looking for.
Whenever developer tries to debug the code they wanted to know list of files created and modified from particular day . I use
cleartool find command with created_since , but it finds only the files which are created not modified.
How to find both?
The cleartool find command can give you what you want, provided you look for versions created since a date, not element (file or directory).
See "Additional examples of the cleartool find command":
cleartool find <vobtag> -version "{created_since(target-data-time)}" -print
Since you are in UCM, you can limit that search to a specific branch name (corresponding to a specific Stream)
cleartool find <vobtag> -version "{brtype(BRANCH) && created_since(target-data-time)}" -print
Add the user in this request:
cleartool find <vobtag> -version "{created_by(user2) && brtype(BRANCH) && created_since(target-data-time)}" -print
And you should get what you need for a developer for a given Stream and date.
Below is example of finding all files changed after 27-Aug-2014
cleartool find . -version "{created_since(27-Aug-2014)}" -print
I followed what brainimus had to say here.
IBM Clear Case-> Administration -> Report builder.
In the Tree view Under \Reports Select Elements, and then choose the appropriate option.
I am using Clearcase dynamic view with a complex config spec. I need a command line command to find files where the version selected by the config spec has a specific property, such as:
has a specific label
does not have a specific label
is on a specific branch
etc.
I was looking at the documentation of the cleartool find command, but found no rule such as "version selected by the config spec".
A simple
cleartool describe -l /path/to/your/view/path/to/your/file
should be enough to display all the informations you need.
Combine that with the fmt_ccase formatting options page, and you can display directly only the label and the branch name:
cleartool describe -fmt "%Sn %l" /path/to/your/view/path/to/your/file
See:
%Sn
Short name:
For a version, a short form of the version ID: branch-pathname/version-number.
For other objects, the null string.
Now, if you want to find all files with a version of a specific property within your view, use the -cview option of find.
See "Additional examples of the cleartool find command":
To print all versions selected by your view that have a LABEL applied:
cleartool find . -cview -version "lbtype(LABEL)" -print
Following the same idea:
To print all versions selected by your view that are in a given branch:
cleartool find . -cview -version "brtype(BRNAME)" -print
newbie for clearcase.
Since clearcase's config is rather different from other concept in git, I may mean logs for
any files with specified version/branch path.
Like I want to show log for all element match:
element * .../specified-lable-or-branch/
First you need to be aware of the differences between ClearCase and Git, ClearCase being file-centric (no notion of repository-wide revision or commit)
You can display logs for any visible file by typing:
cleartool lshistory /myView/myVob/path/to/myFile
See lshistory man page. (and also How do I understand about ClearCase event records in the VOB database)
The lshistory command lists event records in reverse chronological order, describing operations that have affected a VOB's data.
File system data history.
Lists events concerning elements, branches, versions, and VOB links.
This includes records for creation and deletion of objects, and records for attaching and removal of annotations: version labels, attributes, and hyperlinks.
Another kind of logs is the lsvtree (history of versions):
The lsvtree command lists part or all of the version tree of one or more elements.
By default, the listing includes all branches of an element's version tree except for obsolete branches.

The OP adds:
How can I display all history for elements match a pattern like has new version under a branch?
You can combine almost any commands with a find query.
Windows syntax:
cleartool find . -name "apattern" -exec "cleartool lshistory \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""
cleartool find . -version "{created_since(target-data-time)}" -exec "cleartool lshistory \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""
Unix syntax:
cleartool find . -name "apattern" -exec 'cleartool lshistory "$CLEARCASE_PN"'
cleartool find . -version "{created_since(target-data-time)}" -exec 'cleartool lshistory "$CLEARCASE_PN"'
For the " like has new version under a branch?" specifically:
cleartool find . -version "brtype(mybranch)" -exec ...
should do it (any element which has no version created for that branch will not be listed).
situation:
one vob, 2 views (main dev and branch view).
i need to find all files that where created in the branch view and therefore can't be found via merge manager.
anyone able to help?
thanks
When it comes to cleartool find, the two sources of information and example I recommend are:
SAMECS find command
IBM find examples
In your case:
cleartool find -all -ele "brtype(mybranch) && !brtype(main)" -print
(supposing "main dev" means "branch 'main'")
cleartool find -all -type f -ele "brtype(mybranch) && !brtype(main)" -print
would limit that to files only (not directories)
