11.3 Config Spec Include Files

ClearCase supports an include file facility, which makes it easy to ensure that all team members are using the same config spec. For example, the configuration rules in this config spec can be placed in file \\main_svr\public\c_specs\major.csp. Each developer then needs a one-line config spec:

NOTE: If you are sharing config specs between UNIX and Windows NT computers where the VOB-tags are different, you must have two sources, or you must store the config spec in a UNIX directory that is accessible from both platforms.

If you want to modify this config spec (for example, to adopt the no-directory-branching policy), only the contents of major.csp need to change. You can use this command to reconfigure your view with the modified config spec:

Z:\> cleartool setcs -current
