Multiple Reviews on same set of files?
Hi newbie here. I am using CC with Clearcase SCM. I have a large set of files to review (over one hundred) as part of a large merge. I have one view for the reference baseline and another view...

J,
There is a way to do this but it will require some set up on your part. Break the files into manageable/logical sets of files to be reviewed, and for each set, create an input list for the "ccollab addversions" command (see addversions command for ClearCase for the syntax).
The input lists should contains lines (one for each file) with the local filename in the merge view as the first argument, the keyword "local" without quotes as the second argument, and the baseline version number as the third argument. Then from your merge view directory, run the "ccollab addversions new ..." command for each set of files. This will create reviews comparing the merge changes to the predecessor changes in the baseline view.
If you make changes to the merge files as rework in the reviews, you can rerun the same addversions commands as before (but specifying the individual review numbers instead of "new") to upload reworked files to the review(s).
We are looking into supporting XML output from the ClearCase Merge Manager that should, in the future, simplify creating reviews from files that have changed between branches or views.
