setcs

When a setcs operation encounters an element that the principal cannot access, a warning is displayed. If a loaded element is no longer accessible to the principal, the element (and any children) are unloaded from the view. For loaded elements that have been hijacked or checked out, the unload operation behaves as if a directory change caused the element to be no longer visible (the file is kept or removed depending on the preference).

In the case of a symbolic link, the principal must have access to both the link and its target.

If you change the config spec of a view that is being exported for non-VersionVault access, make sure that all users who may currently have the view mounted for that purpose unmount and remount the view. Unmounting and remounting the view ensures access to the correct set of files as specified in the updated config spec.

Default

Reconfigures the current view.

-tag view-tag

The view tag of any dynamic view; the view need not be active. To set the config spec of a snapshot view, you must be in or under the snapshot view root directory (and accordingly you do not use this option). However, you can use this option to set the config spec of a dynamic view from within a snapshot view.

Default

None.

-force

Changes the config spec for the snapshot view specified and reloads the view based on the new config spec without prompting for confirmation. This option is ignored if -tag specifies a dynamic view.

-nupdate

Updates the configuration specification (also referred as config spec) successfully irrespective of existing or non-existing load rules without updating the snapshot view. To update the snapshot view, you can use cleartool update.

-cur/rent

Causes the view_server to flush its caches and reevaluate the current config spec, which is stored in file config_spec in the view storage directory. This includes:

• Evaluating time rules with nonabsolute specifications (for example, now, Tuesday)
• Reevaluating -config rules, possibly selecting different derived objects than previously
• Re-reading files named in include rules

-def/ault

Resets the view's config spec to the contents of default_config_spec, the host's default config spec.

pname

Specifies a text file whose contents are to become the view's new config spec.

-stre/am

For a UCM view, sets the view's config spec to that defined by the stream it is attached to. This operation preserves any load rules already in the view's config spec.

Default

All hijacked files are left in the view with their current modifications.

-ove/rwrite

Overwrites all hijacked files with the version selected by the config spec.

-ren/ame

Renames hijacked files to filename.keep and copies the version in the VOB selected by the config spec into the view.

Default

The initial default is set by the mkview command. Thereafter, the most recently used time scheme is retained as part of the view's state and is used as the default behavior for the next update.

-cti/me

Sets the time stamp of a file element to the current time, that is, the time at which the version is copied into the view. -ctime has no effect on directories (directories always use the current time).

-pti/me

Sets the time stamp of a file element to the time at which the version was checked in to the VOB. -ptime has no effect on directories. (Directories always use the current time.)
