NAME

sscreate - create a new snapshot

 

SYNOPSIS

sscreate -h host [-fnpqV] path ...

 

DESCRIPTION

Use sscreate to create a new project or snapshot. If path specifies the initial snapshot in a new project, both the project and initial snapshot will be created.

Path should always begin with a project, as in /project/...

 

Default Options

Default options can be set on most SnapshotCM commands. See wco(1) for details.

 

Options

-f
Use to create an empty and disconnected release snapshot. Normally, this is desired only when creating the first release snapshot in a project, in which case this option is not necessary. The trueimportrcs.sh script uses this option to create an empty release snapshot for each symbolic name encountered.
-hhost
Create new snapshots on host.
-n
Display normal output but do not perform the operation. Most error checking still occurs.
-p
Create a project folder rather than a release snapshot. New items at the second and deeper levels of the name hierarchy are normally assumed to be release or development snapshots. Use this option to create a project or project folder at the second level.
-q
Quiet, suppress normal output on success.
-V
Print internal version and exit.

 

EXAMPLES

To create a development snapshot under existing /Project/Current:

sscreate -hhost /Project/Current/NewSS

To create a new project with initial snapshot called Current:

sscreate -hhost /NewProject/Current

 

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is 0 on success, 1 on failure and >1 if there was a bad option or a network error.
