How to add attribute to every file in VOB at eleme

问题:

I'm trying to add an attribute to the element for every file in a given VOB, and I can't find the syntax to avoid having the attribute added to the version instead of the element.

Here's what I'm trying:

cleartool find . -exec "cleartool mkattr Exception \\\"NEW_VAL\\\" \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""

I always get output to the effect of

Created attribute "Exception" on ".\bigrdj6000\bigrdj6000.fmb@@\main\4".

I've tried lots of combinations of -nxn, -all and -element on the find command, but I just can't seem to get rid of the @@\main\4

Can somebody please put me out of my misery?

Try:

cleartool find . -exec "cleartool mkattr Exception \\\"NEW_VAL\\\" \"%CLEARCASE_PN%@@\""
                                                                                   ^^
                                                                                    |
                                                  (final '@@' to reference an element)

The problem is that \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\" represents a file within a view, meaning the version of that file as selected by the config spec of that view.

However, \"%CLEARCASE_PN%@@\" should represent the element of that file.

This is compliant with the mkattr man page:

cmd-context mkattr RESPONSIBLE \"Anne\" hello.c@@
Created attribute "RESPONSIBLE" on "hello.c@@".
