[Anthill-pro] Question about revision report in AHP 2.6.1

[Gillis, Bob (EHS)]

Hi Eric,

First, many thanks for the response.

If I understand AHP correctly, the revision log prints everything that
has changed since the last build.   We're seeing LOTS of additional
files.

For example, yesterday I am building from a label called MOREG (Model
Office Regression tests).  Version 23 of an element has the MOREG label
on it and is included in the build because of the ClearCase config spec.


A developer checked in a version 24 before I built, but the the MOREG
label is still on version 23 and the build is based against 23 -- but
the revision log still lists version 24 by name and comment, even though
it's not in the build.  The project lead was confused and thought
version 24 was in the build.  I confirmed it was not.  I guess what I'm
looking for is a revision report that would only report changes in the
current VIEW, but not report something if the config spec doesn't
reference it.  Does this make sense?

Bob,

The intention, I believe, is for the cleartool hist command to pull down
the changes appropriate for this build track and perhaps some extras
that the history command doesn't give us a good way to not request. It
then should compare those changes against what is seen config spec and
the date of the previous build to filter out extraneous information.

It's possible that 2.6.1 is missing some chances to apply a filter. I
know in 3.x we gave up on trying to parse the config specs and have
instead provided a text field where you can enter key information from
the config spec in a clearer way. What kind of changes are showing up in
the revision log that shouldn't be?

Thanks,

Eric
