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.
