The version to be added to a review. A version-spec value consist of three components: pathversion [previous-version], where path is the file name or server path of the file, version is the file version to be reviewed, and previous-version is an optional version, against which version should be compared. If any of these arguments contains spaces, enclose it in quotes. Typically a version-spec is not used in the command line. We recommend specifying the file and version using the <file-path>, <version> and the <predecessor-version> arguments (see below). |

Required, if <file-path> is specified. The version (revision) of the file to be added to the review. You can specify the keyword local to tell the command to use the local version of the file. |
Remarks
- If you skip the predecessor version, Collaborator will generate diffs using the predecessor version reported by your source control system.
- By default, the command lets you add versions of one file only. To add versions of multiple files, create a text file and specify this file in the command line as the standard input stream (stdin):
ccollab addversions last < versionlist.txt
Each line in the file must consist of the following components: pathversion [predecessor-version].
For information on them, see description of the version-spec arguments.
- If you skip the file name and versions in the command line, the command will expect to read them from the standard input stream (stdin). Below are some examples for reading versions from the standard input:
ccollab addversions 86753
ccollab addversions last < versionlist.txt
cat versionlist.txt | ccollab addversions new
- When specifying the version in the command line or in an input file, you can use the local keyword to denote the version corresponding to the local version of the file. The local keyword can only be used for the first version argument, not for the predecessor version.
Examples
Some examples of specifying versions on the command line for ClearCase:
ccollab addversions new ./hello.c /main/mydev/6 /main/8
ccollab addversions last ./Main.java /main/dev/31
To compare the local version of the ClearCase file/directory to a previous version in an edit list or input list, use local as the initial version. If the file/directory is checked out as "/main/CHECKEDOUT", then local is equivalent to using /main/CHECKEDOUT as the initial version. Otherwise local would refer to the latest version of the file/directory. For example, if the local file ./hello.c is at version "/main/9" and has predecessor "/main/8", then all of the following lines would be equivalent:
./hello.c /main/9
./hello.c local
./hello.c /main/9 /main/8
./hello.c local /main/8
You can also reference a LATEST version, for example:
ccollab addversions new ./hello.c /main/ga_1.0/6 /main/LATEST
To upload a version with no predecessor version, use /main/0:
ccollab addversions new ./hello.c /main/ga_1.0/6 /main/0
To compare the version "/main/2" of the directory "W:/user_name_ccrctut_pvob/server" to the version "/main/3" , please run the following command and the difference will be uploaded to Collaborator.
ccollab addversions new W:/user_name_ccrctut_pvob/server /main/2 /main/3
