View

Use this page to set options for creating and starting views.

Option
Description
When creating views, make interop (MS-DOS) text mode the default
This option sets the default text mode for views created with the GUI. You can override the view_interop_text_mode site-wide property. The cleartool lssite -inquire command lists the default value of the site-wide property.

If you select this option, your view-creation default for text mode is insert_cr (formerly MSDOS). This is equivalent to using the cleartool mkview -tmode insert_cr command. This mode supports Windows clients that write text files with lines ending in <CR><LF> and that share those files with UNIX clients that write text files with lines ending in <NL>. This mode does not affect the code stored in the VOB. Instead, the text is adjusted when you read or check out the file.

Tip: You should not use interop mode views until you encounter a verifiable problem that you need to solve.

If you clear this option, your view-creation default for text mode is transparent (formerly unix). This is equivalent to using the cleartool mkview -tmode transparent command. No line terminator processing is done in Rational® ClearCase®.

Reset default
Click Reset Default to apply the value for the view_interop_text_mode site-wide property as your default (type cleartool lssite -inquire to see the current value).
Restart at logon
Select this option to set the Restart at Logon option as the default in Start View. Clear this option to omit starting the view.
