Create view tag window

Define a view tag for the Windows network region. Required fields display values generated by the Region Synchronizer. In some circumstances, you may need to modify these values. The controls list below describes specific data fields.

Items in the window

Field
Description
Region
The name of the Windows region for which you are defining a new tag.
Tagname
The Windows region tag name. The Region Synchronizer generates a tag based on the tag name on UNIX. Because the tag is a logical name only, you are free to edit it, but tag-naming rules apply:
  • Make the tag a simple string.
  • To avoid possible NFS problems, use only lowercase letters.
  • If your site has to support programs that require 8.3 naming, constrain your tag name accordingly.
Global Storage Path

The pathname through which Rational® ClearCase® server processes on all Windows region hosts will access the VOB or view storage directory. While not strictly required, UNC names are strongly recommended.

The Region Synchronizer generates this pathname automatically, after analyzing the storage directory pathname on UNIX. Typically, this pathname is correct; however, if you are certain that your Windows region hosts require an alternative global path, provide it here. Keep in mind that this pathname must be valid for all hosts in the Windows region.

Comment
Supply a comment to be stored with the tag entry in the Rational ClearCase registry.
Hostname

The view host on UNIX, as it is known to systems in the Windows region.

Like the global path, this name is derived from the storage directory pathname on UNIX. If the Region Synchronizer has "guessed wrong" and your Windows region hosts know the UNIX system through an alternative name, specify the correct host name here (and, if necessary, update the global storage path field as well).
