Use the load rule editor in the ClearCase View Configuration tool
to create or modify load rules for a ClearCase view.
Before you begin
Before you can create or modify load rules
for a ClearCase view, you must be connected to the ClearCase server that supports
it.
About this task
The ClearCase Edit Configuration
dialog box includes a load rule editor with which you can explore the contents
of VOBs accessible to the ClearCase Web server and add load rules that specify
all or part of a VOB's contents. You can also remove load rules.
To
use the load rule editor:
- In the ClearCase Navigator, select a ClearCase view.
- From the ClearCase Navigator context menu, select Show
ClearCase View Configuration to open the ClearCase View
Configuration view.
- Optional: To view or edit load rules as text, click
the
icon
on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar and select Edit
Configuration or click the
icon
on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar to open the Edit
Configuration dialog box.
- In the Edit Configuration dialog box, click
the Load Rules tab, then add load rules by selecting
them in the Select resources and add or remove rules tree
and clicking Add. You can remove load rules by selecting
them in the Load Rules list box and clicking Remove.
- To add a rule that loads an entire VOB, select the VOB folder from
the list and click Apply.
- To add a rule that loads a subdirectory of a VOB, click the plus sign
(+) to the left of any folder to list its contents, then select the folders
or files you want to load and click Apply.
- When you have finished adding load rules, click OK to
close the Edit Configuration dialog box.
Results
When you load or update a ClearCase view, the
ClearCase Remote Client contacts the ClearCase Web server and requests a version
of each element in each load rule's scope. The versions requested
are determined by the view's config spec. The time required to load a view
depends on the number and size of resources that must be loaded, and on the
speed of your connection to the ClearCase server.
