Chapter 2 Setting Up Work Areas

Before setting up work areas, consider adjusting your umask setting to control the level of access others have to your work. (See Adjusting Your umask for more information.)

Then, complete the following tasks to set up your work areas:

• Starting the Join Project Wizard

• Choosing a project

• Verifying stream names

• Setting up views

• Choosing components to load into snapshot views

• Accessing your development view

• Logging on to a Rational ClearQuest user database (only for projects that use the UCM-ClearQuest integration)

NOTE: If you prefer to use the command line, you can complete the tasks in this chapter by using arguments for the cleartool mkstream and cleartool mkview commands. For more information, see the corresponding reference pages in the Command Reference.
