You add resources to source control so that you can track changes
and share your work.
In this lesson, you will create a new directory and two new files
in the tutorial VOB and add them to source control.
To create resources
and add to source control:
- In Windows Explorer or your IDE, add a directory named yourname_tutorial in
the tutorial VOB.
Note: You can also navigate to the VOB in the
ClearCase Navigator, right-click on a blank space in the ClearCase Details
view, and select .
- In the new directory, create a directory named docs.
- In the docs directory, create files named readme.txt and notes.txt.
- In the Rational ClearCase Remote Client, connect to 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.
- In the ClearCase Navigator, navigate to the docs directory
under the yourname_tutorial directory.
- In the ClearCase Details view, right-click the notes.txt file
and click Add to Source Control.
Note: You
can also select the file and click the

(
Add to
Source Control) button in the toolbar or you can select from
the
ClearCase menu.
- In the Add to Source Control dialog box, click
the Show Details button (if it is available), type
a comment in the Comment field, and click OK.
The notes.txt file and its parent directories, docs and yourname_tutorial, are added to source control. (A file cannot be added
to source control unless the directories above it are also under source control.
In this case, only the parent directory is added to source control.)
- In ClearCase Details, right-click the readme.txt file
and click Add to Source Control.
- In the Add to Source Control dialog box, type
a comment and click Apply.
Your tutorial folder, the docs directory, and the two text files are
now under source control. Note that the value of the State field
in the ClearCase details view is now Loaded instead
of View Private.
