16.5 Creating, Configuring, and Registering Views

Each developer creates a view on his or her own machine. For example, developer arb enters these commands on her local host quark:

C:\> mkdir c:\users\arb\vw_store
C:\> net share users c:\users
C:\> cleartool mkview -tag arb_major \\quark\users\arb\vw_store\arb_major.vws
Created view.
Host-local path: quark:C:\users\arb\vw_store\arb_major.vws
Global path: \\quark\users\arb\vw_store\arb_major.vws

NOTE: The net share command makes arb's view publicly accessible.

A new view has the default config spec. Thus, developers on the MAJ and FIX teams must reconfigure their views, using the standard file for their team. arb edits her config spec with the cleartool edcs command, deletes the existing lines, and adds the following line:

\\vulcan\c_specs\major

If the project manager changes the standard file, arb must enter the command cleartool setcs -current to pick up the changes.
