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 or automatic view, select the view under the My
Views node in the ClearTeam Navigator. To connect to the CCRC WAN server, click the
icon on the ClearCase toolbar or select Connect
from the ClearCase context menu.
- If you are 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
The resources are displayed in the
ClearCase view.
Note: If you are browsing a Web view or
automatic view that is connected to the CCRC WAN server running Linux or 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.
