Identify the number of Binary files on each releases in Clearcase

Question

we are using CC UCM Environment. I want to identify the number of binaries on each load/Release and making sure that we are packaging correctly the load.

Answer 1

The best practice, when dealing with several source components which produce each their own binary, is to use composite baseline.
And you can have composite of composites.

Each composite baseline records the baselines made on the direct dependent components, which allows you to:

• remember the association of baselines for a given release
• list each dependency, i.e. identifying the number of components involved.

Note though that this is for source components (you should not store binaries in a source control system like ClearCase)
