Update ClearCase view config spec with command line with changed load rules

Question

I have a base ClearCase snapshot view that being updated automatically overnight based on config spec file using this command

cleartool setcs -overwrite -ptime d:\CS.cs

The problem is that the config spec load rules are being changed and if I run the command it ask for confirmation to update load rules

R:\>cleartool setcs -overwrite -ptime d:\CS.cs
cleartool: Warning: 1 objects were eliminated from the new config spec's load rules:
"\QA\QTP"
Continue, and unload these objects? [no] 

So is there a way to tell ClearCase using command line to automatically continue with the update without getting confirmation ?

Answer 1

As mentioned in "Batch Script to Automate a DOS Program with Options", you could write the right answer in a file, and redirect it to your command.

 cleartool setcs -overwrite -ptime d:\CS.cs < yes.txt

That way, if the command stops for getting an input, it will have it immediately.

You find a similar approach in "how to userinput without typing to a batch file".

Answer 2

You should use the "-force" option
