RE: Automated way to disconnect/stop all running views on a client?

Sometime back I had to wite a script which was for some other purpose, but a part of it handled what you are actually looking for. I have pasted below those snippet of perl code which did the work work. Explore them and try to build a perl script with this. I cannot assure it will work straight away, as I just picked relevant sections and pasted here

 

================================================

use Win32::TieRegistry;

#*********Global Variable********
my $mvfs_drive=undef;

 

#***********Main*********
$Registry->Delimiter("/");

 

##Syntax Check

 

##Get Value of MVFS drive and
##end all active views and Unmount VOBs
 endVOBView(GetMVFSDrive());

#***********Subroutine Section******
sub GetMVFSDrive{
 $drive=$Registry->{"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Mvfs/InstallParameters"} or  die $!;
    foreach(  keys %$drive  ) {
 return $drive->{$_} if ($_=~ /\/drive/)
    }

 

}

sub endVOBView{
 my $mvfs_drive=shift;

 

# Unmount all VOBS
 print "Unmounting all mounted VOBs\n";
 system("cleartool umount -a");

 

# End all active views
 opendir(DIR,"$mvfs_drive:\\") or die "can't opendir $dirname: $!";
 while (defined($view = readdir(DIR))) {
 print "Stopping $view ...\n" if ($view !~ /^\.|.specdev/);
 system("cleartool endview $view") if ($view !~ /^\.|.specdev/)
 }
 closedir(DIR);
}

hi,

I believe this is a manual procedure, as it would require the user to type this command for each view, separately, once they can get the list of the views.

 

I'm trying to find a scripted (or an existing command) method to automate the process.

thanks!

cleartool endview -server <tag> ? Probably needs to be done as a user in
the albd account if you're a windoze shop.
