Use the VOB Creation wizard to create a versioned
object base on a computer. You should be logged on to a VOB host (a computer
on which one or more VOB storage directories reside or a computer that can
access a location on a supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) device which
contains a storage directory) as the Rational® ClearCase® Administrator
identity.
Remember: The user ID and primary group of the user
who creates the VOB automatically initialize VOB access permissions.
If the development project for which this VOB is being created
uses Rational ClearCase UCM,
you can use the VOB to store UCM components and optionally designate it as
a project VOB.
First page of the wizard
On the first
page of wizard, indicate the VOB name and major parameters.
- What would you like the new VOB to be named?
- Enter the VOB tag. A VOB tag is a registered name for the VOB. When you
perform operations on a VOB, you refer to the VOB by its VOB tag. The VOB
tag that you supply applies to the local host network region. Each network
region has a single namespace for VOB tags. All hosts within the same region
refer to a VOB by the same VOB tag. Thus, the VOB tag must be unique among
all VOB tags within the network region of the local host.
For
a network region that uses Windows filename syntax, each VOB tag begins with
a backslash (\), for example, \vobname. If you omit the
leading backslash when you type the VOB tag, the VOB Creation Wizard adds
it for you.
Important: You must specify the VOB
tag before you can proceed to subsequent steps in the VOB Creation Wizard.
- Please enter a comment for the VOB
- Specify an optional creation comment for the VOB. This can help inform
others of the purpose of the VOB.
- This VOB will contain UCM components
- Set to specify that the VOB will contain UCM components.
Product note: This option is for Rational ClearCase only.
- Create as UCM project VOB
- Set to specify that the VOB is to be a PVOB. A PVOB contains UCM objects
such as projects, streams, activities, and change sets that are used to manage
the development artifacts in components.

option is for Rational ClearCase only.
