Creating a base ClearCase view

Use the ClearCase View Creation wizard to create a base ClearCase view.

About this task

The View Creation wizard automates the task of creating a base Rational ClearCase view.

Procedure

To create a base ClearCase view:

  1. Click the create view icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar or select Create View from the ClearCase menu to start the View Creation wizard.
  2. Perform one of the following actions:
    • If you are creating a Web view and the CCRC WAN server you want to use appears in the Select a server for your new view box, select it. If you are not connected to the server, click Connect, enter your login information, and click OK.
    • If you are creating a Web view and the server you want to use does not appear in the box, click Connect, enter the server URL and login information, and click OK.
      Note: If you are trying to connect to a CCRC WAN server and you do not know the server URL to use, ask your project manager.
    • If you are creating a Dynamic view, select the ClearCase Local node, which is a context for accessing ClearCase resources on the Local Area Network.
      Note: You must have the ClearCase native client (or "thick" client) installed on your machine to use Dynamic views and to see the ClearCase Local node.
  3. Select the Create a base ClearCase view option.
  4. Click Next to display the Create a ClearCase view page.
  5. Specify a view tag and copy area path name or accept the defaults and click Finish to create the view. By default, the view tag and copy area path name are the same, but you can specify a copy area path name that is different from the view tag by typing in the Copy area path name field.

Results

The new view opens in the ClearTeam Navigator.

What to do next

If you created a Web view, the wizard offers to open the Edit Configuration dialog box, where you can create load rules and load the view with resources from ClearCase repositories. For more information about this and other ways to load resources, see Loading resources into a ClearCase view.
