MMC taskpads and the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console

A defect associated with taskpads in the Microsoft Management Console, versions 1.1 and 1.2, causes problems in the DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console. The problem occurs when you follow this sequence of steps:

1. Select the All VOBs or All Views node from the navigation bar of the Administration Console. The program displays the associated taskpad.
2. Select a VOB or view tag from the taskpad list, and then click Manage storage.
3. After the storage for that node has been successfully displayed, click the MMC back navigation arrow to return to and display the previously selected taskpad.

At this point, the taskpad list is blank. Use either of the following methods to work around the problem:

• In taskpad mode, select ViewTaskpad to turn off taskpad mode.
• Navigate to the taskpad with the back arrow and select Refresh from the All VOBs or All Views node.

Note that with MMC version 1.1, resizing the console window refreshes the list; resizing has no effect in MMC version 1.2
