You use a ClearCase view to access and modify resources
under source control.
The configuration of the ClearCase view determines which
version of a file or directory that you see. Depending on your development
model, you can use different ClearCase views for different tasks.
In
this lesson, you will create the ClearCase view that you will use
for the rest of this tutorial.
To create a ClearCase view:
- If you are using Eclipse, open the ClearTeam Explorer perspective.
On the Eclipse menu bar, click . In the Open Perspective dialog,
click ClearTeam Explorer.
- Click the
(Create a base ClearCase view) button
in the toolbar. Note: You can also select Create
View from the ClearCase menu.
- In the Create View/Choose a ClearCase server window,
specify your ClearCase server and, if you are not already connected
to the server, click Connect, fill in the connection
details for the ClearCase server in the CCRC WAN dialog box, and click OK to
connect to the sever and dismiss the dialog box.
- In the Create View/Choose a ClearCase server window,
click Next.
- In the Create View/Create a ClearCase view window,
specify the following values.
- For View Type, make sure that Web is
selected.
- For ViewTag, specify yourname_tut_view as
the view tag value. As you enter text in this field, the Copy
area path name automatically reflects your changes by
default. The copy area is the location where files and directories
from the ClearCase repository are stored while you work on them. If
you want to specify a different copy area location, you can enter
text in the Copy area path name field or click Browse.
- If your environment uses different operating systems, you can
select the appropriate line termination mode for text files (ask your
administrator for this information) in your environment by clicking View
Options and selecting the correct mode in the View
Options dialog box.
- Click Finish. The Edit
Configuration dialog box appears.
- In the Edit Configuration dialog box,
click Cancel. You will load resources in a
separate lesson.
You have now learned how to create a base ClearCase Web view
that you can use to access your files and directories.
