Managing registry data
Registry data for most common operations is managed automatically. Other operations can require an administrator to create, remove, or modify registry data.
About this task
An object and a tag are created by DevOps Code ClearCase® when
you create a VOB or a view. The tag and the object are removed when you remove
a VOB or a view. In many cases, no further administrative action is required.
You might need to manipulate VOB and view objects and tags for
any of the following reasons:
- To make a tag available in another registry region
- To change the name of a VOB or view
- After you move a VOB or view to a different host
- After you restore a VOB or view from backup media
- To clean up the registry after a VOB or view is removed by a nonstandard procedure
To inspect, create, and repair VOB and view objects and tags, use the ClearCase Registry node of the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console or any of the
cleartool subcommands named in
the following figure, which shows how
these commands affect registry data.
