Mount (or activate) VOBs to access source files from a
view.
About this task
In an automatic view, a VOB is implicitly mounted when you browse into it. When using dynamic
views, you may need to activate or reestablish access to a VOB by mounting it. Public VOBs are
mounted as part of the system start procedure of a
DevOps Code ClearCase® host. The procedure that follows
applies to a dynamic views.
Procedure
-
To mount a VOB, expand the My Views node in the ClearTeam
Navigator to display your views. If your Dynamic view does not
appear, right-click the My Views node and select Start Dynamic
View from the context menu. Once the view has been started, expand the view name node.
If the node is empty, the VOB is not mounted. To display the VOB, click the View Menu option list
icon (the small, inverted triangle) that is associated with the ClearTeam
Navigator and select the Unmounted VOBs
option.
- Click the VOB name to automatically mount the VOB. If,
however, you have previously performed an Unmount VOB operation on
that VOB, it is not automatically mounted when you select it. In this
case, right-click the VOB name and select Mount VOB from
the context menu.
The Mount VOB information message
box shows the status of the process and offers you the option of running
the process in the background.
