Registry tab

The Registry tab of the ClearCase properties dialog box displays this host's ClearCase® registry and region assignments.

The ClearCase registry resides on a computer called the registry server host. The registry provides a central repository of VOB and view tags, which contain information that allows clients to access VOBs and views on the network. These tags include a global pathname to the physical storage used by the VOB or view.

Because Windows and UNIX have different network naming conventions, global pathnames must be expressed differently for Windows and UNIX clients. A registry that supports both Windows and UNIX hosts has separate registry regions for each. A ClearCase host is a member of a single registry region and can access only those VOBs and views for which tags exist in that region.
