Use the ClearTeam Navigator and ClearTeam Details view
to explore ClearCase repositories and views.
Before you begin
Before you can explore the contents of remote ClearCase repositories
(VOBs), you must
create a ClearCase view.
About this task
With the ClearTeam Navigator view and ClearTeam Details view
you can explore resources in ClearCase views.
Procedure
To explore ClearCase repositories:
- If you are using a Web view, select the view under the My
Views node in the ClearTeam Navigator. To connect to the CCRC WAN server that supports the Web view,
click the
icon
on the ClearCase toolbar or select Connect from
the ClearCase context menu. If you do not connect to the ClearCase
server, you cannot browse remote resources.
- If using a Dynamic view, ensure that the view is mounted
and started, then select the view under the My Views node
in the ClearTeam Navigator.
- Use the ClearTeam Navigator and ClearCase
Details view to explore local resources, remote resources,
or both:
- In the ClearTeam Navigator, click the plus sign (+) to the
left of a folder to expand the folder and display any folders it contains.
A folder that contains only files cannot be expanded in the ClearCase
Navigator. The files it contains are listed in the ClearTeam Details
view.
- In the ClearTeam Navigator, select a folder to display its
contents in the ClearTeam Details view.
- In the ClearTeam Details view, double-click a folder to display
the files or folders that it contains. This action also selects the
folder in the ClearTeam Navigator.
Results
To load a resource that is displayed in a Web view, select
the resource and select
Load Resource from
the ClearCase context menu.
Note: If you are browsing a ClearCase
Web view that is connected to the CCRC WAN server running the UNIX
system, you typically must expand one or more VOB tag components (parts
of the path name to a VOB storage directory) before you can access
VOB contents. In the ClearTeam Details view,
VOB tag components are listed with a Kind value
of VOB Tag Component. No operations are permitted
on a VOB Tag Component.
