How to describe recommend baseline with pipeline

Question

I am trying to find all the components baselines associated in a composite baseline.

I am able to achieve it using following way

cleartool desc -fmt %[rec_bls]CXp stream:My_Integration@\My_PVOB

(I would save the receommended baselines in some variable using powershell and replace it in next command) 

cleartool describe -l baseline:"$Baseline"@\My_PVOB

Is it possible to combine both command so that i can describe all the recommended baselines.

In the above approach i am forced to use some script to save baselines then to use it in Cleartool command. If it can be combined in cleartool itself it will be good and handy.

Answer 1

I didn4t find a way to pipe the two describe between the composite baseline and its member baselines.

My solution (which isn't satisfactory) is, in a bash (available on Windows through msyswwin, with a tool like msysgit):

$ ct descr -l baseline:P_Summit_HUB_12_30_2011@\\Summit_HUB_pvob |grep "b)"|awk '{print "cleartool descr -fmt \"%[component]Xp %n\\n\" baseline:" $1 " >> afile"}'

I use whatever fmt I need (here just the name of the component associated with the member baseline and its name)

Then I execute each output line in order to get the final result in 'afile'.

Your PowerShell script approach is certainly better.

Actually, the OP Samselvaprabu confirms following said PowerShell approach:

$Baselinefile="C:\Baseline.txt" 
$project="MyComponents@\My_PVOB" 
$pvob="@\My_PVOB" 

# Find the list of Recommended baseline for the project 
$Baselines=(cleartool lsproject -fmt "%[rec_bls]p" $project).split() 

#Foreach baseline get the baseline and Component Name 
foreach ($Bline in $Baselines) { 
  cleartool describe -l baseline:"$Bline"$pvob | Select-string -pattern "@\\My_PVOB)"| Out-File $BaselineFile -append 
}
