Creating your development and integration views
In this stage of joining a project, two views are created: one for accessing the sources in your development stream, a second one for accessing the sources in the integration stream. For each stream, you need to specify the type of view you want.
You can choose to have two views of the same type, for example, two dynamic views or two snapshot views; or you can have a mix of one dynamic view and one snapshot view.
DevOps Code ClearCase® uses dynamic and snapshot views.
Dynamic views provide access to the most up-to-date version of the project's element in a dynamic fashion.
Snapshot views provide access to the project's elements at a static point in time. To ensure that you are looking at the most recent version, you need to periodically perform an update operation to update your environment.
