View Types policy for UCM projects

Sets the default view types presented to users when they join this project through the Join Project Wizard. Current values are displayed. This policy sets default view types only for first-time users of the Join Project Wizard. If a user has previously set a preference for view types, those preferences supersede the values that are set here.

You can set separate values for these four views:

Purpose of integration and development streams

When developers join a multiple-stream project, they use the Join Project Wizard to create a development stream, a development view, and an integration view. Development views are used for work that is isolated from the rest of the project team. Integration views are attached to parent streams and are used for team and project building and testing.

Comparison of dynamic and snapshot views

Two kinds of views are provided in Rational® ClearCase: dynamic and snapshot. Only snapshot views are provided in Rational ClearCase LT.

Dynamic views use the Rational ClearCase multiversion file system (MVFS) to provide immediate, transparent access to files and directories stored in VOBs. Snapshot views copy files and directories from VOBs to a directory on your computer.

In Rational ClearCase, you can use dynamic views as the default view type for integration views. This type of view ensures that when developers deliver work to the integration stream, they build and test their work against the latest work that other developers have delivered since the last baseline was created. If you use a snapshot view, developers must perform a snapshot view update operation to copy the latest delivered files and directories to their computer.
