Displays information related to view profiles. If the view is associated with a view profile, this tab displays a graphical representation of the version-selection rules in the view profile.

From this page, you can do the following:

Items in the Profile page

Profile Name
The path of the view profile, starting from the root of the view profile tree. You specify the root of the view profile tree on the Options tab of the Rational® ClearCase® Control Panel.
Diagram
A graphical representation of the version-selection rules in the view profile.
Properties
Starts a Properties browser for the view profile.
Synchronize
Changes the view config spec to match any modifications to the rules in the current view profile. Usually, any time the view profile is modified, the config specs for all associated views are synchronized.

Use this button only if this view was not synchronized with the changes in the view profile.

Dissociate
Disables automation of the following activities:
  • Starting and finishing private branches
  • Synchronizing the view's config spec with modifications to the rules in the view profile
  • Mounting VOBs specified by the view profile
Tip: If you dissociate the view from the view profile, all structured comments are removed from the config spec, but the config spec rules remain the same and they select the same versions as they do currently.
Associate
Opens a window from which you can select a view profile to associate with this view. If the view is already associated with a view profile, you can use this button to associate with a different view profile.

Associating with a view profile changes your view config spec, usually causing your view to select versions and to create versions on specific branches. If you work in a snapshot view, associating the view with a view profile also updates your view.

If any files or directories are checked out to this view, you are prompted to check them in before changing the rules in the view config spec.

Description
The description of the view profile that the view-profile creator provided.
