About this task
In this lesson, you will create a new directory and two
new files in the tutorial VOB and add them to source control.
To
create resources and add to source control:
Procedure
-
In Windows Explorer or your IDE, add a directory named
yourname_tutorial in the tutorial VOB.
Note: You can also navigate to the VOB in the ClearTeam
Navigator, right-click on a blank space in the ClearTeam
Details
view, and select .
-
In the new directory, create a directory named docs.
-
In the docs directory, create files
named readme.txt and notes.txt.
-
In the ClearTeam®
Explorer, connect to ClearCase® server, if you are not connected already. Expand
the My Views node in the ClearTeam
Navigator, right-click on the view called
yourname_tut_view, and click
Connect. In the CCRC WAN
server dialog
box, fill in the connection details and click OK.
-
In the ClearTeam
Navigator, navigate to the
docs directory under the
yourname_tutorial directory.
-
In the ClearTeam
Details view, right-click the
notes.txt file and click Add to Source Control.
Note: You can also select the file and click the
(
Add to Source Control) button in the
toolbar or you can select from the
ClearCase menu.
-
In the Add to Source Control dialog
box, click the Show Details button (if it is
available), type a comment in the Comment field,
and click OK.
The notes.txt file
and its parent directories, docs and yourname_tutorial,
are added to source control. (A file cannot be added to source control
unless the directories above it are also under source control. In
this case, only the parent directory is added to source control.)
-
In ClearTeam
Details, right-click the
readme.txt file and click Add to Source Control.
-
In the Add to Source Control dialog
box, type a comment and click Apply.
Results
Your tutorial folder, the docs directory, and the two text files are now under source
control. Note that the value of the State field in the ClearTeam
Details view is now Loaded instead
of View Private.
