Remove a ClearCase view when it is no longer needed.
Before you begin
If the view you want to remove is a Web view, you must connect
to the ClearCase server that supports it before you can remove it.
About this task
Removing a ClearCase view removes its local copy area
(if it’s a Web view) and its supporting directories on the ClearCase
server.
Note: When you remove a ClearCase view, any view-private
files or directories it contains are deleted from the local computer's
file system. If the view contains any view-private files or directories
that you want to preserve, copy them to another location before you
remove the view.
Procedure
To remove a ClearCase view:
- In the ClearTeam Navigator view or
the ClearTeam Details view, select the view that
you want to remove.
- Search the view to be sure it contains nothing of value.
Click the
icon
on the ClearCase toolbar to open the ClearCase Search dialog box. Search the view for checkouts,
hijacked files, and view-private resources. Resolve the checkouts
by checking them in or canceling them. Resolve the hijacked files
by converting them to checkouts or canceling them. If the view contains
any view-private resources that you want to preserve, copy them to
another location.
- Click the
icon
on the ClearCase toolbar or right-click the view name and click Remove
ClearCase View on the context menu.
- Click Yes when prompted to confirm
that you want to remove the view.
Results
The view is removed, with its local copy area (if it is a
Web view) and its supporting directories on the ClearCase server.
Any files or folders in the copy area that were in use when the view
was being removed remain in the copy area, and you are prompted to
remove them manually.
