1.5 The ClearCase Registry

ClearCase maintains a networkwide registry of VOBs and views so that users and programs can access these objects without having to know the details of where they are stored.

The ClearCase registry database is maintained on the ClearCase LT server.

Objects and Tags

The ClearCase registry contains two types of information for every VOB and every view:

Server Storage Locations

In addition to VOB and view tag and object entries, the ClearCase registry records the names and network paths for server storage locations that can be created to provide a standard or default storage location for newly created VOBs and views.
