3. run endviews.bat
Run help for from the command line:

Re: [cciug] Automated way to disconnect/stop all running views on a client?
Thanks :) I should have been more clear, in that we store all views on a central view server. I only want to disconnect the view reference on the client machine, but not end the processed running on server-side. Therefore I believe the cleartool endview tag command would most likely be what i'm looking for. If I could do something like this, it would likely do the trick: 1. dir/b M:\ endviews.bat 2. in endviews.bat , add cleartool endview at the beginning of each line 3. run endviews.bat However, it would require each user manually creating and editting the batchfile, which is not a good solution :)tks On 6/8/06, Kathy Messina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can't you parse the output of cleartool lsview -host?

Re: [cciug] Automated way to disconnect/stop all running views on a client?
If you are doing this because of introducing new hardware (presumably you are migrating your views to a new box), you will need to run endview -server anyway ... however, I assume you are trying to ensure the end-users do not experience too much difficulty with the switch over, hence wanting to end their views? My advice would be to notify all Windows users and get them to reboot their machines before using ClearCase, once the migration is done. Despite the ClearCase registry allowing for resources (views and VOBs) to retain the same tag if it is moved, I have noticed the Windows clients often don't like this (despite the UUID etc remaining consistent). At least with a reboot, persistent views and VOBs will restart (I think it's done on the basis of tag, so it detects the change).
