About accessing VOBs across platforms of different types
Your HCL VersionVault administrator sets up VOBs on hosts running Windows® or Linux® or UNIX system software and creates VOB tags in each HCL VersionVault network region that needs to access the VOBs. (For information about registering Linux or UNIX VOB tags on a Windows® computer, see the Help.) Then, from any HCL VersionVault host running Windows® or Linux® or UNIX software, you can create snapshot views to load elements from VOBs that have tags in your network region.
From dynamic views and snapshot views on an HCL VersionVault host on a Windows® computer that supports dynamic views, you can access VOBs on Windows® computers and Linux® and UNIX workstations. To access VOBs on Linux® and UNIX workstations from dynamic views on Windows® computers, you must use vendor software that provides access to Linux® and UNIX file systems from Windows® computers.
From dynamic views on an HCL VersionVault host on a Linux or UNIX workstation, you cannot access VOBs on Windows® computers. The table shown here summarizes your options for accessing VOBs across platforms of different types.
| HCL VersionVault host platform | Platform on which VOB is located | Type of view from which you can access source files |
|---|---|---|
| Windows® computer | Windows® computer or Linux or UNIX workstation | Snapshot view or dynamic view |
| Linux or UNIX workstation | Windows® computer | Snapshot view |
| Linux or UNIX workstation | Linux or UNIX workstation | Snapshot view or dynamic view |
