  2. Complete either of the following actions:
    • On Linux or the UNIX system, type the following command:
      Perl ccase-home-dir/etc/utils/regen_view_dot_dat.pl \
[ –tag snapshot-view-tag ] snapshot-view-path
      For example:

    • On a Windows system, type the following command:
      ccperl ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\regen_view_dot_dat.pl ^ 
More? [ –tag snapshot-view-tag ] snapshot-view-path
      For example:

More? –tag  pat_v1.4_cropcircle_sv ^

Results

If the view storage directory is under the root directory of the view, you do not need to use the –tag snapshot-view-tag argument.
