Creating a VersionVault view

You use a VersionVault view to access and modify resources under source control.

About this task

The configuration of the VersionVault view determines which version of a file or directory that you see. Depending on your development model, you can use different VersionVault views for different tasks.

In this lesson, you will create the VersionVault view that you will use for the rest of this tutorial.

To create a VersionVault view:

Procedure

If you are using Eclipse, open the VersionVault Explorer perspective. On the Eclipse menu bar, click Window > Open Perspective > Other. In the Open Perspective dialog, click VersionVault Explorer.
Click the (Create a base VersionVault view) button in the toolbar.

Note: You can also select Create View from the VersionVault menu.
In the Create View/Choose a VersionVault server window, specify your VersionVault server and, if you are not already connected to the server, click Connect, fill in the connection details for the VersionVault server in the WAN dialog box, and click OK to connect to the sever and dismiss the dialog box.
In the Create View/Choose a VersionVault server window, click Next.
In the Create View/Create a VersionVault view window, specify the following values.
- For View Type, make sure that Web is selected.
- For ViewTag, specify yourname_tut_view as the view tag value. As you enter text in this field, the Copy area path name automatically reflects your changes by default. The copy area is the location where files and directories from the VersionVault repository are stored while you work on them. If you want to specify a different copy area location, you can enter text in the Copy area path name field or click Browse.
- If your environment uses different operating systems, you can select the appropriate line termination mode for text files (ask your administrator for this information) in your environment by clicking View Options and selecting the correct mode in the View Options dialog box.
Click Finish. The Edit Configuration dialog box appears.
In the Edit Configuration dialog box, click Cancel. You will load resources in a separate lesson.

Results

You have now learned how to create a base VersionVault Web view that you can use to access your files and directories.
