### Windows vob_snapshot Setup and Execution

Source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/clearcase/10.0_topic=vobs-vob-snapshot

This example shows how to add a local VOB to the current host's snapshot list and then take VOB database snapshots for all VOBs in the list on a Windows system. It involves changing the directory to the ClearCase installation and using `vob_snapshot_setup` with specific parameters before executing `vob_snapshot`.

```batch
cd "c:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\etc"
vob_snapshot_setup modparam –dbcheck yes \
–snap_to \saturn\bigdisk\snaps\proj1\vob_prj1 vob_snapshot
```

```shell
%` cd /vobs/lib`
cmd-context` setcs –default`
cmd-context` relocate -qall ./glib ../gui`
Logfile is "relocate.log.2007-04-09T14:11:37".
Selected "glib".
Selected "glib/file.c".
Do you want to relocate these objects? [no] `yes`
Checked out "." from version "/main/3".
Checked out "/vobs/gui" from version "/main/0".

### Silent Installation Command Example

Source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/clearcase/9.1_topic=packages-installation-manager-command-line-arguments

This example shows a typical command-line invocation for performing a silent installation using IBM Installation Manager. It specifies the use of a silent installation configuration file (`silent-install.ini`) and includes flags to suppress errors and the splash screen. The `-input` argument is used here to specify an external input file path.

```shell
./install --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input input_file_path_and_name
```

### UNIX/Linux vob_snapshot Setup and Execution

Source: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/clearcase/10.0_topic=vobs-vob-snapshot

This example demonstrates how to list VOBs on a local host's snapshot list and then take VOB database snapshots for all VOBs in that list on a UNIX or Linux system. It utilizes the `vob_snapshot_setup` command to manage the snapshot list and `vob_snapshot` to perform the actual snapshot.

```shell
/opt/rational/clearcase/etc/vob_snapshot_setup lsvob
/vobs/src
/vobs/lib
/opt/rational/clearcase/etc/vob_snapshot
```

This example demonstrates how to list all VOBs on a local host's snapshot list and then take VOB database snapshots for each VOB in the list using ClearCase utilities on UNIX or Linux systems. It assumes vob_snapshot_setup has been used to configure snapshot parameters.

```shell
/opt/devops/code/clearcase/etc/vob_snapshot_setup lsvob
/opt/devops/code/clearcase/etc/vob_snapshot
```
