You can compare a version with its immediate predecessor to find
the differences.
You may need to compare versions of a file or directory when you
need to reconcile conflicting changes made by members of a team.
To
compare a file version with its predecessor:
- Connect to the ClearCase server, if you are not connected already.
Expand the
My Views node in
the ClearCase Navigator, right-click on the view called
yourname_tut_view and
click
Connect. In the
Login to ClearCase dialog
box, fill in the connection details, and click
OK.
Note: You
can also select the view and click the

(
Connect
to ClearCase Server) button in the toolbar or you can select from the
ClearCase menu.
In addition, if you are not connected to a ClearCase server and you perform
an action that requires such a connection, the
Login
to ClearCase dialog box appears automatically.
- In the ClearCase Navigator, navigate to the docs directory
under the yourname_tutorial directory.
- In the ClearCase Details view, right-click readme.txt and
click Compare with Predecessor.
- Click the Compare with Predecessor button
in the toolbar.
Note: You can also select the file and click the

(
Comapare with Predecessor) button
in the toolbar or you can select from the
ClearCase menu.
The Diff Merge window displays the version
selected by your view and the predecessor version. Each difference is indicated
by an icon at the left of the pane. You can use the navigation buttons in
the toolbar to move between differences.
