Using the load rule editor
Use the load rule editor in the ClearCase® View Configuration tool to create or modify load rules for snapshot, web, and automatic views. The load rule editor is not applicable for a dynamic view.
About this task
The ClearCase Edit Configuration dialog box includes a load rule editor with which you can explore the contents of VOBs accessible to the CCRC WAN server and add load rules that specify all or part of a VOB's contents. You can also remove load rules.
Procedure
- In the ClearTeam Navigator, select a web view, automatic view, or snapshot view.
- From the ClearTeam Navigator context menu, select Show ClearCase View Configuration to open the ClearCase View Configuration view.
- Optional: To view or edit load rules as text, click the icon on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar and select Edit Configuration or click the icon on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar to open the Edit Configuration dialog box.
- In the Edit Configuration dialog box,
click the Load Rules tab, then add load rules
by selecting them in the Select resources and add or remove
rules tree and clicking Add. You
can remove load rules by selecting them in the Load Rules list
box and clicking Remove.
- To add a rule that loads an entire VOB, select the VOB folder from the list and click Apply.
- To add a rule that loads a subdirectory of a VOB, click the plus sign (+) to the left of any folder to list its contents, then select the folders or files you want to load and click Apply.
- When you have finished adding load rules, click OK to close the Edit Configuration dialog box.
Results
When you load or update a view, the ClearTeam® Explorer contacts the CCRC WAN server (in the case of an automatic view or web view) or the VOB server (in the case of a snapshot view) and requests a version of each element in each load rule's scope. The versions requested are determined by the view's config spec. The time required to load a view depends on the number and size of resources that must be loaded, and on the speed of your connection to the server.
