Starting the Project Explorer

The Project Explorer is available on Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms.

You start the Project Explorer as follows:

  • On Windows, by clicking Start > DevOps Code ClearCase > Project Explorer.
  • On Linux and UNIX by typing clearprojexp & at the system prompt in a terminal window.
    Figure 1. The project's root folder


  1. Start the Project Explorer by clicking Start > DevOps Code ClearCase > Project Explorer.
  2. Navigate the left pane until you see "fhembert_cctut_ucm_pvob" and select it.
  3. Take a screen shot and save it as a gif file (tut_ucm_proj_root_folder.gif)
  4. Go to the next instructions for tut_ucm_projexplorer.gif

The left pane of the Project Explorer lists folders for all PVOBs in the local DevOps Code ClearCase® domain. Each PVOB has its own root folder. All VOBs shown in the example are UCM PVOBs.

In Figure 1, the selected root folder is the tutorial's PVOB: fhembert_cctut_ucm_pvob. DevOps Code ClearCase® creates the root folder using the name of the PVOB.


Figure 2. The project's Components folder


Figure 2 also shows the empty folder called Components that DevOps Code ClearCase® created when you created the PVOB. DevOps Code ClearCase® uses this folder to store the project components that you are going to create in the next exercise.

The following sections guide you in creating a project component baseline.
