Define a VOB 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. Click in the controls list below for help on specific data fields.
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.
All public VOBs are mounted as a group by the command cleartool mount -all. (A system administrator may configure the system to run this command automatically at user login time.) If a VOB is private, it is skipped by cleartool mount -all.
Any user can create a private VOB tag. To create a public VOB tag, you must supply the Rational ClearCase registry password. Any user can mount any VOB, public or private, by naming it explicitly in a cleartool mount command.
A VOB must be mounted before it is accessible in a dynamic view.
The VOB 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).
