This dialog box can be accessed by using the Join Project wizard or by right-clicking on an existing development stream and selecting Create View.
Before you create a UCM view, you must specify a stream to which it will be bound. Use this dialog box to specify a development stream that will be bound to your UCM development view. You can create a new stream or use one that already exists. If you opened this dialog box by right-clicking on an existing development stream and selecting Create View, then the view that you create is bound to that stream.
If you have joined a single-stream project, all of your work on the project takes place in an integration view, so you do not need to create a development view or specify a development stream. The integration stream is bound by default to the integration view that the Join Project wizard creates. You can accept the default or choose a different stream to which completed activities will be delivered.
To create a UCM development view, you must specify:
The following controls appear in the dialog box:
Control name | Control description |
---|---|
Set up a Development Stream | By default, this is selected and you must specify a development stream and associated development view. If this option is cleared, neither a development stream nor a development view is created when you click Finish. Note that this option is only available if you are using the Join Project wizard. |
Stream name | Displays the name of the development stream. You can edit the stream name. |
Stream Options | Opens a Stream Options dialog box in which you can accept or edit the default comment, choose an existing stream, or make the stream read-only. Note that this option is only available if you are using the Join Project wizard. |
Create a Development View | By default, this is selected and you must specify a view tag and copy area for the development view. If this option is cleared, a development view is not created when you click Finish. |
View tag | By default, the View tag name is the same as the final subdirectory of the Copy area path name. If you edit this field, the Copy area path name directory also reflects the changes you make. To set this field to a name that is different from the copy area directory, you must edit the Copy area path name. |
View Options | Opens the View options dialog box in which you can specify a view text mode. |
Copy area path name | The full path name to the copy area. By default, the copy area is created in your home directory, in a subdirectory named with the name of the stream you specified on the Stream options page. To create the copy area in a different local directory, type the path name to that directory, or click Browse to navigate to a folder to use. Note that when you change the copy area, the View tag does not automatically reflect the change. |
Browse | Opens a file system browser in which you can navigate to and select a folder to use for the copy area. |
Back | Returns to previous screen. Note that this option is only available if you are using the Join Project wizard. |
Next | Proceeds to the next screen. Note that this option is only available if you are using the Join Project wizard. |
Finish | Creates the specified development view. If you are using the Join Project wizard, clicking Finish also creates the specified development stream and the suggested integration view. |
Cancel | Cancels the operation. |
