You can compare a version with its immediate predecessor
to find the differences.
You may need to compare versions of a file or directory
when you need to reconcile conflicting changes made by members of
a team.
To compare a file version with its predecessor:
- Connect to the ClearCase server, if you are not connected
already.
Expand the
My Views node
in the ClearTeam Navigator, right-click on the view called
yourname_tut_view and
click
Connect. In the
CCRC WAN dialog
box, fill in the connection details, and click
OK.
Note: You
can also select the view and click the

(
Connect
to ClearCase Server) button in the toolbar or you can
select from
the
ClearCase menu. In addition, if you are
not connected to a ClearCase server and you perform an action that
requires such a connection, the
CCRC WAN dialog
box appears automatically.
- In the ClearTeam Navigator, navigate to the docs directory
under the yourname_tutorial directory.
- In the ClearTeam Details view, right-click readme.txt and
click Compare with Predecessor.
- Click the Compare with Predecessor button
in the toolbar.
Note: You can also select the file and
click the

(
Comapare
with Predecessor) button in the toolbar or you can select from
the
ClearCase menu.
The Diff Merge window displays the version
selected by your view and the predecessor version. Each difference
is indicated by an icon at the left of the pane. You can use the navigation
buttons in the toolbar to move between differences.
