rmws

deactivate a workspace

Usage

accurev rmws [ -s ] <workspace-name>

Description

The rmws command makes the specified workspace inactive. More precisely, it deactivates the workspace stream in the depot; the workspace tree on the user’s disk remains unaffected.

The deactivated workspace cannot be used for active development. It won’t appear in show wspaces listings, unless you use the -fi or -fI option.

Note: After performing an rmws command, you cannot then create a new workspace with the same name. The name remains irrevocably associated with the inactive workspace.

You can use the reactivate command to bring the workspace back into active service.

Options

-s

Use this option when you deactivate a workspace that belongs to another user. In this case, you must include the _<principal-name> suffix, in order to fully specify the workspace name.

If you omit this option and specify a <workspace_name> with no suffix, rmws implicitly adds a _<principal-name> suffix, using your own principal-name.

Examples

Remove your own workspace, named talon_dvt_<your-principal-name>:

> accurev rmws talon_dvt

Remove another user’s workspace, specifying its complete name:

> accurev rmws -s talon_dvt_mary
