Creating additional tags for VOBs and views in an HCL VersionVault registry that has regions
Any process that creates a VOB or view also creates the object and the initial tag. If additional tags are needed, use the mktag command to create them.
About this task
Every GUI and cleartool command that creates a VOB or view also creates an object and tag for it. The tag is created in the host’s region (the region to which the host where you run the command is assigned). If you want the VOB or view to be available to hosts in other regions, you must create additional tags manually. These tags reference the object that was created along with the VOB or view, so you do not have to create a new object. Use the HCL VersionVault Administration Console or the cleartool mktag command to create additional tags. For example:
cleartool mktag –vob –tag \lib –region dev_win –host saturn ^
–gpath \\saturn\vobstg\lib.vbs \\saturn\vobstg\lib.vbs
cleartool mktag –vob –tag \lib –region dev_win –host saturn ^
–gpath \\saturn\vobstg\lib.vbs \\saturn\vobstg\lib.vbs
The mktag command in this example can be run on a host that runs any supported operating system. However, it cannot validate the global path \\saturn\vobstg\lib.vbs unless it is run on a Windows host.
