Options available if not creating a UCM component

The following options are available if you are not creating a UCM component:

An administrative VOB to associate with the new VOB
Select none if this VOB does not inherit definitions of global types from another VOB. To inherit definitions, select the VOB tag for the VOB from which this VOB inherits definitions.

An administrative VOB is a repository for global types that other VOBs can share. If a user creates an instance of a type in a VOB, and if that type does not exist in the VOB, a search is done in an associated administrative VOB. If the type exists as a global type in the administrative VOB, a copy of the global type from the administrative VOB is made in the local VOB.

Tip: You need not select an administrative VOB for every VOB you create. Consult your Rational® ClearCase® administrator to see whether this is necessary for your site. If you do not need to associate an administrative VOB with the VOB you are creating, scroll to the top of the list to select none.
Reconnect to this VOB at login time
When you mount, or activate, a VOB, it becomes accessible to views on the local host. (In dynamic views, the VOB root directory appears in the view automatically; in snapshot views, the VOB is available when selecting files to load into the view.)

Set this option to have the VOB mounted when you log on.

If you clear this option, you must mount the VOB explicitly. (To mount a VOB from Start, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational ClearCase > Administration > Mount VOB.)

Tip: If you specified that this VOB is to be a UCM component, this option does not appear. (It is assumed that you want the VOB mounted when you log on.)
Make this VOB a public VOB
Set this option if the VOB is to be activated with the mount -all command. If you set this option, enter a string in ClearCase Registry Password.
