Getting information about view contents

The DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console displays information about disk space used by views:

• The Derived Objects subnode of a VOB storage node shows disk space used by shared derived objects in the VOB. The display shows which views hold references to these DOs.
• The view storage node for a view (a subnode of the host node for the host where the view storage directory resides) shows current and historical disk space used by the view.
• The Private Files subnode of the view storage node for a dynamic view lists view-private objects, including files and derived objects, in the view.

Several cleartool subcommands also display information on disk space used in views:

• The dospace command shows disk space used by shared derived objects in a VOB. The display shows which views have references to these DOs.
• The cleartool space –view command shows current and historical disk space used for a view.

The DevOps Code ClearCase scheduler runs several jobs that gather data on disk space used by views:

• Daily data gathering on disk space used by views
• Weekly data gathering on disk space used by shared derived objects
• Daily and weekly execution of jobs that you can customize to run your own programs
