Choose elements to load (Windows)

Use this window to select from Available Elements the elements (files and directories under Rational® ClearCase® control) to load in your view or select from Selected Elements the elements to unload from the view.

The Add button is available only when you select an element in Available Elements that does not appear in Selected Elements. Click Add to move the selected Rational ClearCase element from Available Elements to Selected Elements, to load the element into the view. If you load a directory element, all the file and directory elements below the directory are also loaded into the view.

The Add all button moves all the Rational ClearCase elements in Available Elements to Selected Elements, to load all the listed elements into the view.

The Remove button removes the selected element from Selected Elements to indicate that you no longer want the element to be in your view. If you remove (unload) a directory element that contains view-private files, the Update Tool saves all your view-private files in a directory named directory.unloaded.

The Remove all button moves all elements from Selected Elements to indicate that you no longer want any of the elements currently loaded to be in your view. If you remove (unload) a directory element that contains view-private files, the Update Tool saves all of your view-private files in a directory named directory.unloaded.

In Available elements are listed the VOBs registered in your network region. Set Show All VOBs to expand the list of VOBs. Clear Show All VOBs to limit the list of VOBs. Each VOB is displayed as a root directory. Below a VOB directory are versions of Rational ClearCase elements selected by the version selection rules in your config spec. If a directory or file element does not have at least one version that is selected by the config spec, you do not see the element in this list.

The following indicators are used in the window:
