Jim, it is apparently a csh'ism that $? is not available but $status is:

Randws035:csh
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] ls /non/existant
/non/existant: No such file or directory
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] echo $status
2
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] ls /non/existant
/non/existant: No such file or directory
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] echo $?
Variable syntax

Whereas in tcsh:

Randws035:tcsh
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] ls /non/existant
/non/existant: No such file or directory
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] echo $status
2
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] ls /non/existant
/non/existant: No such file or directory
[randws035/vobs/rnc/rrt/rlib] echo $?
2

• Worked on fixing ticket # 11330 for Bill Davies

OK, to keep you up to date here... First, I've learned that Ericsson stuff is in the "Ericsson region":

BTW this is a misnomer! It's really the Ericsson registry region. You see Clearcase can have multiple regions for a single registry server (shown in ct hostinfo -l). Clearcase objects (vobs and views) can then be cross tagged from one region (associated with a registry server) to another. Think of a Clearcase registry server as a building and regions as cubicles separated by walls. The cubicle walls server to separate areas (regions) in a building (registry server).

But Ericsson is in a separate registry server entirely. Therefore Ericsson vobs cannot be tagged (i.e made visible) in the RAN registry region. Ericsson is in another building (if we keep to the analogy above). This is why you need to rlogin to randws035. Well I ssh, however if you compare the output of ct hostinfo -l on randws035 to output from a machine in the RAN registry region you'll see there are two different registry servers. Ericsson stuff is replicated (copied) to the RAN registry region.

I spent time moving and adjusting baseline labels in an attempt make it so you see "the same thing in RAN that you do in Ericsson". What I found is that not everything was properly replicated with ClearReplica. For example, the walborg branch was not replicated. Apparently ClearReplica can replicate parts and leave other parts if instructed to do so.

The result of this is that I created a new help desk ticket RANCQ0011546) for Julie Rudinski to fix the ClearReplication of this vob.

• Worked with Chris Burns to cancel a few checkouts. This allowed me to remove a few binary files from one of the builds. These binary files were being checked out and built in the build process then checked back in. It was determined that we ought not version control such files and instead let them remain derived files.
