Controls in the dialog box
Applicability Control name Control description
DevOps Code ClearCase® remote client (CCRC) and DevOps Code ClearCase local client (CCLC) Interop text mode Specifies whether any line-terminator processing is performed when versions are loaded into the view or checked in to the VOB.
  • Transparent: Makes no modification in line terminator sequences.
  • Insert CR: Inserts a CR (carriage return) character before every LF (line feed) character when text files are loaded into the view and reverses the operation when text files are checked in to the VOB.
  • Strip CR: Strips the CR character from every CR-LF sequence when text files are loaded into the view and reverses the operation when text files are checked in to the VOB.
CCLC Use server storage location Select a location from the list of those that have been specifically established for storing views.
Use explicit path Specify a storage location in the form \\host\share\directory... For best performance, automatic view storage should be established on the local host.
Automatic views Client-side view storage location Specifies local storage for view metadata and logs. Default: user_home_directory/rviews_storage/view-tag. Version-controlled files are accessed through the automatic view drive (default: R:\ for Windows and /rview for Linux).
Shared cleartext cache location Specifies local storage for cleartext corresponding to files that are accessed from automatic views. Specify the same cache directory for all of your automatic views that reside on the same client machine and that access the same VOB content. The automatic view that is the first to access a file that has not yet been fetched obtains it from the VOB. When another automatic view accesses that file, it obtains it from local shared storage (which is more efficient than fetching the same file from the VOB). Default : user_home_directory/.ccase_automatic_cltxt_stg
Dynamic views Create shareable derived objects Allow derived objects to be shared among other dynamic views on the LAN.
Snapshot views Preserve version creation time when files are loaded or updated from the server Preserves the modification time of the version. If you do not select this option, the modification time of the version is set to the time that the version was checked in.
