VOB Creation wizard

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.
