Displays information related to view profiles. If
the view is associated with a view profile, this tab displays a graphical
representation of the version-selection rules in the view profile.
From
this page, you can do the following:
- Associate a view with a view profile.
- Change the view profile with which a view is associated.
- Synchronize the view config spec with any modifications
to the rules in the current view profile. (However, config specs are usually
synchronized for all associated views when the view profile is modified.)
- View the properties of the view profile currently associated
with the view.
Items in the Profile page
- Profile Name
- The path of the view profile, starting from the root of the view profile
tree. You specify the root of the view profile tree on the Options tab of
the Rational® ClearCase® Control
Panel.
- Diagram
- A graphical representation of the version-selection rules in the view
profile.
- Properties
- Starts a Properties browser for the view profile.
- Synchronize
- Changes the view config spec to match any modifications to the rules in
the current view profile. Usually, any time the view profile is modified,
the config specs for all associated views are synchronized.
Use this button
only if this view was not synchronized with the changes in the view profile.
- Dissociate
- Disables automation of the following activities:
- Starting and finishing private branches
- Synchronizing the view's config spec with modifications
to the rules in the view profile
- Mounting VOBs specified by the view profile
Tip: If you dissociate the view from the view profile, all
structured comments are removed from the config spec, but the config spec
rules remain the same and they select the same versions as they do currently.
- Associate
- Opens a window from which you can select a view profile to associate with
this view. If the view is already associated with a view profile, you can
use this button to associate with a different view profile.
Associating
with a view profile changes your view config spec, usually causing your view
to select versions and to create versions on specific branches. If you work
in a snapshot view, associating the view with a view profile also updates
your view.
If any files or directories are checked out to this view,
you are prompted to check them in before changing the rules in the view config
spec.
- Description
- The description of the view profile that the view-profile creator provided.
