From the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or
the Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse,
you can use the Rational ClearQuest View
Associations view to examine Rational ClearCase views that are being used
on a client desktop to access file locations stored in a Rational ClearCase® VOB.
To open the Rational ClearCase View
Association view:
- From a Rational ClearQuest Client,
click , from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click .
- The ClearCase View Associations view displays the following information
for each entry: Asset Registry, Iteration, View
Tag, View Path, Association
State, and Connection. (By default the Association
State for all view associations is Free.)
- Select an entry in the Rational ClearCase View Associations view
and then select any of the following options:
- To remove a view association from your desktop click Remove
Association. When a view association is removed for a desktop,
you cannot execute a test script for an iteration associated with it.
- For base Rational ClearCase views,
click Capture Configuration Specification to force all executions for
the associated iteration to use a config spec that is identical to the captured
view. (When a view is captured the Association State is
set to Captured.)
- For UCM views, click Capture Stream Name to force all
executions for the associated iteration to use a stream name that is identical
to the captured view. (When a view is captured, the Association
State is set to Captured.)
- To release a captured view, click Release Configuration Specification or Release
Stream Name. When a captured view is released, there is no longer
checking to determine if any view executing the associated iteration has a
config spec or stream name that is identical to the captured view.
- Click Override Mismatch if you are attempting to execute
using a view whose config spec or stream name does not match the config spec
or stream name of a captured view and you want to override and execute using
your view. Note, use caution when overriding; using a different config spec
or stream name means you might be executing using a different version of test
assets.
- To change the config spec of a view on your desktop to be identical
to the config spec of a captured view, click Change Configuration Specification.
This action is available only when the Association State of
a view association is set to Mismatched and the view
association is a base Rational ClearCase dynamic
view. Note, use caution when changing a config spec because the elements and
versions of elements might be different.
