Using ClearCase® web and automatic views

You can use a ClearCase® web view or automatic view in the ClearTeam® Explorer to access and manage ClearCase® elements through a DevOps CCRC WAN server.

Before you begin

You must know the name of the CCRC WAN server that you are going to connect to; if you do not know the CCRC WAN server name, ask your ClearCase® Administrator.

About this task

You can use the ClearCase® web views or automatic views to perform operations on resources under ClearCase® source control.

Procedure

To use a ClearCase® web or automatic view:
  1. In theClearTeam Navigator, create a new view by selecting ClearCase -> Create View or join a ClearCase® UCM project by selecting ClearCase -> Join Project.
  2. If you are creating a new view, in the Create View wizard do not specify the ClearCase Local server on the Choose a ClearCase® server page and specify the View Type as Web or Automatic on the Create a ClearCase® view page. If you are joining a ClearCase® UCM project, in the Join Project wizard, do not specify the ClearCase Local server on the Join a UCM project page and specify the View Type as Web or Automatic on the Set up a ClearCase® UCM development environment page.
  3. When prompted, connect to a CCRC WAN server by specifying the server along with your user name and password in the Change Management dialog box. Do not choose ClearCase Local as the server.
  4. Finish the process of creating a new ClearCase® view or joining a ClearCase® UCM project.
