<ccmkelem>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Creates elements in a ClearCase VOB.

This task uses the cleartool mkelem command to create ClearCase elements.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
viewpath	file	Path to the ClearCase view file or directory that the command will operate on.	True
checkin	bool	Checkin element after creation. Default is false.	False
comment	string	Specify a comment. Only one of `comment` or `commentfile` may be used.	False
commentfile	file	Specify a file containing a comment. Only one of `comment` or `commentfile` may be used.	False
eltype	string	Element type to use during element creation.	False
master	bool	Assign mastership of the main branch to the current site. Default is false.	False
mkpath	bool	Create elements from the view-private parent directories. Default is false.	False
nocheckout	bool	Perform a checkout after element creation. Default is false.	False
nowarn	bool	If true, warning will be suppressed. The default is false.	False
preservetime	bool	If true, the modification time will be preserved. Default is false.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```

</arg>

Examples

Performs a ClearCase mkelem on the file c:/views/viewdir/afile with element type text_file. It checks in the file after creation and adds Some comment text as a comment.
```
<ccmkelem viewpath="c:/views/viewdir/afile"
        eltype="text_file"
        checkin="true"
        comment="Some comment text"/>
    
```
