Use the
Add to Source Control dialog
box to add view-private resources (files and directories that are
in a ClearCase view's copy area but not under Rational ClearCase source
control) to Rational ClearCase.
Before you begin
Before you can add resources to ClearCase source control,
all of the following conditions must be met:
- The VOB to which you intend to add the resources must exist and
be accessible by the ClearCase server.
- If you are using a Web view, the VOB directory that will contain
the resources must be loaded into a local ClearCase view.
- If you are using a Web view, the resources to be added must be
in the copy area of that view, within the loaded (VOB) directory that
will contain them.
- If you are using a Web view, you must be connected to the CCRC
WAN server that supports the view.
Procedure
To add one or more resources to ClearCase source control:
- Select the resources that you want to add to source control. Use the ClearTeam Navigator, ClearTeam
Details view, or ClearCase Search Results view. If you are working
in the Eclipse environment, use any Eclipse view that supports the Team context
menu.
- To open the Add to Source Control dialog
box, click the
icon
on the ClearCase toolbar, or take either of the following actions:- Select Add to Source Control from the
ClearCase context menu.
- In the Eclipse environment, select Add to Source
Control from the Team context menu.
- Specify Add to Source Control options
and click Apply.
- If there are any Rational ClearCase triggers associated with this operation, you may be
prompted to supply additional information or take further action.
Results
The view-private resources are added to ClearCase and become
versioned objects. If you specified Checkout files after
adding to source control, the files (not the directories)
are checked out and can be modified. (Your modifications are not visible
to others until you check them in.)
Note: Adding a directory to
source control does not add its contents. Adding the contents of a
directory to source control also adds the containing directory to
source control.
If resource decorations are enabled, checked-in
resources are decorated with the
icon and checked-out resources are decorated with the
icon.
