Search for latest version of branch type

To search latest version number for specific branch type:

cleartool find /vobs/vobname -branch "brtype(branchtypename)" -version "version(.../branchtypename/LATEST)" -print tee brantypelist.txt

The example result will be:

/vobs/vobname/filename1@@/main/branchtypename/3

/vobs/vobname/filename2@@/main/branchtypename/2

/vobs/vobname/filename3@@/main/branchtypename/6

Remove Corrupted View in Rational ClearCase

Objective: Remove Corrupted View

Error message below you get when you remove a view failed where the view is corrupted

cleartool rmview -tag viewname
cleartool: Error: Unable to open file"/view_stg/viewname.vws/.view": No such file or directory.
cleartool: Error: /view_stg/viewname.vws isn't a view: No such file or directory
cleartool: Error: Unable to remove view "/view_stg/viewname.vws".

Steps to remove the corrupted view:
1. list the view detail to get uuid
cleartool lsview -long viewname
Tag: viewname
Global path: /view_stg/viewname.vws
Server host: servername
Region: region_ux
Active: NO View tag
uuid:9e9c4e46.3f5311dc.86cc.00:14:c2:65:50:79
View on host: zmy12vw1
View server access path: /view_stg/viewname.vws
View uuid: 9e9c4e46.3f5311dc.86cc.00:14:c2:65:50:79
View owner: you

2. Then try remove the view again with uuid
cleartool rmview -vob /vobname -uuid 9e9c4e46.3f5311dc.86cc.00:14:c2:65:50:79
Can't remove view "/view_stg/viewname.vws" from VOB while view still exists.
Remove view /view_stg/viewname.vws" references from VOB anyway? [no] y
Removed references to view "9e9c4e46.3f5311dc.86cc.00:14:c2:65:50:79" from VOB "/vobname".

3. Lastly remove the view tag after all the vob references are removed
cleartool rmtag -view viewname

cleartool lstype -kind lbtype -short -invob /vobs/vobname grep labeltypename

If the command above return NULL or blank, this mean this label type is not existed.
If return value, the "labeltypename" will be shown and also indicate the label type is locked or not.
