Displaying the properties of a view

Properties include information about the view’s creation date, last modification date, and owner. If you use the DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console or the –long and –full options to lsview, you can get additional information, including:

• The view’s text mode
• The view’s protections
• Whether the view’s ownership and permissions are consistent
• When and by whom the config spec was last updated
• Whether the view is a dynamic view or a snapshot view
• Whether the view is read-only or writable
• For a dynamic view, whether it creates shareable or nonshareable derived objects
• When and by whom view-private data was last accessed
• When and by whom a view-private derived object was last updated
• For a dynamic view, when and by whom a derived object was last created, promoted, or winked in

This information can help you decide whether a view is still in use, or contains artifacts that might still be needed.
