Remove a ClearCase view when it is no longer needed.
Before you begin
Before you can remove a ClearCase view, you must connect to the ClearCase
server that supports it.
About this task
Removing a ClearCase view removes its local copy area and its
supporting directories on the ClearCase server.
Note: When
you remove a ClearCase view, any view-private files or directories it contains
are deleted from the local computer's file system. If the view contains any
view-private files or directories that you want to preserve, copy them to
another location before you remove the view.
To remove a ClearCase
view:
- In the ClearCase Navigator view or the ClearCase
Details view, select the view that you want to remove.
- Search the view to be sure it contains nothing of value. Click
the
icon on the ClearCase toolbar to open
the ClearCase Search dialog box.
Search the view for checkouts, hijacked files, and view-private resources.
Resolve the checkouts by checking them in or canceling them. Resolve the hijacked
files by converting them to checkouts or canceling them. If the view contains
any view-private resources that you want to preserve, copy them to another
location.
- Click the
icon on the ClearCase toolbar or right-click
the view name and click Remove ClearCase View on the
context menu.
- Click Yes when prompted to confirm that
you want to remove the view.
Results
The view is removed, with its local copy area and its supporting directories
on the ClearCase server. Any files or folders in the copy area that were in
use when the view was being removed remain in the copy area, and you are prompted
to remove them manually.
