Upgrade Copy Area

Use this dialog box to upgrade your view to be compatible with the current ClearTeam® Explorer.

You can use this dialog box to upgrade the copy area of an existing DevOps Code ClearCase® web view that was created using a previous version of the ClearTeam® Explorer so that it is compatible with the current version of ClearTeam Explorer. You cannot perform any operations in the view until the upgrade is complete. The larger the copy area, the longer the upgrade takes.

Note: Once the view is upgraded, you can no longer use earlier releases of the ClearTeam® Explorer to access it.

Controls in the dialog box

The following controls appear in the dialog box:


Control name	Control description
Server URL	The location of the server that the Web view is hosted on.
