Hello,

i'am evaluating FinalBuilder and i want to check in/out a directory recursive. I added a File Iterator on the view directory and added as a child of this action the ClearCase Check In/Out Action. But i cannot use the output of the file iterator within the Check In/Out action.  
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem.

Thanks.

Sven

Hi Sven,   
  
 Thanks for your post. The ClearCase UI makes it a little bit hard to add a variable value, however it can be done.   
  
 1) Click Add… File and add a generic file (it doesn’t matter what.)   
  
 2) Select the file and click Edit, then erase what’s there and type the output from the File Iterator, ie %MyFile%.   
  
 I’ll add an “Add Other…” option to the action which lets you type in the output directly, without this workaround.   
  
 Regards,   
  
 Angus
