ClearCase installation dependency

You can make the appearance of a button dependent on how ClearCase is configured during installation. For example, if the ClearCase multiversion file system (MVFS) is not installed on the computer, you do not want buttons that access MVFS functionality to appear in ClearCase Home Base.

You can specify these values:

Value
Explanation
None
The button has no installation dependency; it appears regardless of installation configuration.
MVFS Installed
The button appears only if the ClearCase MVFS is installed on this computer.
Projects Installed
The button appears only if this computer is configured to support UCM projects.
View Profiles Installed
The button appears only if this computer is configured to support view profiles.
Administration Tools Installed
The button appears only if ClearCase administrative tools have been installed on this computer.
Tip: If installation dependencies cause all buttons on a given tab to be hidden, that tab is hidden as well.
