Associate a Workspace with a ClearCase View 

Note: We strongly recommend that you maintain a separate WebSphere Studio workspace for each Rational ClearCase view you use.

To associate a workspace with a ClearCase view, take the following steps.

  1. Create a new view within ClearCase by selecting the ClearCase > Create New View menu option.
  2. From the command line or from Windows Explorer, create a new workspace storage directory that corresponds to the ClearCase view: "workspace_<view_tag>". 
  3. When starting WebSphere Studio from the command line, use the -data flag which takes as its argument the path to the new workspace storage directory. 
wsappdev -data workspace-storage-dir-pname

Note: We recommend that you create a shortcut from the Windows Start menu to start WebSphere Studio with the -data flag and argument.
