To rename an element using DevOps ClearCase® Explorer (Windows)
About this task
You can rename an element or VOB symbolic link using DevOps ClearCase® Explorer.
Procedure
- In the ClearCase® Explorer Details pane, right-click an element and click Rename.
- In the Details pane, type a new name for the element.
- Press Enter. A window opens and asks whether you are sure about the rename operation.
- Click Yes. Tip: If you perform a rename operation (or a new folder operation) and try another operation before you press Enter, the pending operation is canceled. This behavior differs from Windows Explorer behavior because ClearCase® Explorer must prompt you before it completes the operation. Thus, if you try any of the following operations, the pending operation is canceled and the new operation is performed:
- Click on a new folder in the Folder pane
- Click on a new view shortcut in the Shortcut pane
- Run a tool (for example, the History Browser, Version Tree Browser, Properties Browser, or Diff Merge)
- Hijack or unhijack a file (snapshot view only)
- Do a checkin, checkout, or cancel checkout operation
- Drag one or more objects onto the list
Some operations (for example, clicking on a column or right-clicking in the Details pane) do not cancel the pending operation.
