Creating a base ClearCase view

Use the ClearCase View Creation wizard to create a base ClearCase view.
Before you begin
As part of creating a ClearCase view, you connect to a ClearCase server. You can use an existing connection or create a new one.
About this task
The View Creation wizard automates the task of creating a base Rational ClearCase view.
  1. Click the create view icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar or select Create View from the ClearCase menu to start the View Creation wizard.
  2. Perform one of the following action to connect to a ClearCase server. The view that you create is associated with the server that you select in this step.
    • If the server you want to use appears in the Select a server for your new view box, select it. If you are not connected to the server, click Connect, enter your login information in the Connect dialog box, and click OK.
    • If the server you want to use does not appear in the box, click Connect, enter the server URL and login information in the Connect dialog box and click OK..
      Note: If you are trying to connect to a ClearCase server and you do not know the Rational ClearCase server URL to use, ask your project manager.
  3. Click Next to display the Create a ClearCase view page.
  4. Specify a view tag and copy area path name or accept the defaults and click Finish to create the view. By default, the view tag and copy area path name are the same, but you can specify a copy area path name that is different from the view tag by typing in the Copy area path name field.
Results
The new view opens in the ClearCase Navigator.
What to do next

After you have created the view, the wizard offers to open the Edit Configuration dialog box, where you can create load rules and load the view with resources from ClearCase repositories. For more information about this and other ways to load resources, see Loading resources into a ClearCase view.
