createprod - Create Product Line

createprod [-dk] [-v displayoptions] productline

createprod [-dk] -p product [-r release] -N newbranchname] [-v displayoptions] productline

createprod [-dk] -p product -b branch [-m markname] [-v displayoptions] productline

createprod creates the basic directory structure of your product line and the necessary files for it to operate. It also creates a customization branch by default, to which any changes to the local product line may be checked in.


Program Option	Description
`-p {product \| extended_ description}`	Specifies a product to view information for. You can specify the product in either `product` or `extended_description` format, where: `product` is the product name. Example: `createprod -p LMHCM_100001 -r 10.0.1.0` and `extended_description` takes the format `product:release` Use this to identify a product without specifying `-r`. Example: `createprod -p LMHCM_100001:10.0.1.0`. This is useful for specifying multiple products. See table below for interaction of the `-p` option with `-b`.
`-d`	Analyzes dependencies.
`-r release`	Specifies a release. If neither a release or branch name is given, then the most recent release of the product will be used. See `-p` description for a way this can be omitted.
`-b branch`	Specifies a branch. If neither `-r release` nor `-N branchname` is specified, then the most recent release of the product will be used. See table below for interaction of this option with `-p`.
`-k`	Invokes a dialog box that let you edit repository credentials. Press Enter to accept the credentials shown.
`-m markname`	Specifies a marked point on a branch.
`-N branchname`	Allows you to name the customization branch that is created for a product line. If you do not use `-N` to name it, then createprod generates a branch name called `productline_BRANCH`
`productline`	Names the product line being created. Product line names should be composed of lower case letters and digits. They should be less than or equal to 14 characters in length.
`-v displayoptions`	`errorlevel`, `tracelevel`, and `verbose` specified in any order, where: `errorlevel` = {n}one \| {f}atal \| {e}rror \| {w}arning (warning is the default) `tracelevel` = 0:6 where 0 is no message and 6 is everything `verbose` = whether to display exception stacktrace

Interaction of -p and -b

Use the following information as a guide in determining when to specify -p product and -b branch options.


Presence of -p	Presence of -b	Result
No	No	Creates a default local product line that is unconnected to the repository. This is for use with the development of a new application.
No	Yes	Error. Product is unknown, so cannot recognize branch.
Yes	No	Creates a new customization branch whose root is the specified product (and release and build, if also specified).
Yes	Yes	Retrieves the customized branch (and mark, if specified) into a new product line and creates a customization branch.
