Below command is to make a view:
ct mkview -tag myview /var/tmp/your-username_dynview.vws

However, how do we know that [myview] is a view to certain stream ?
There’s no specified arguments on above command indicating which stream a view is for.

Please read this:
https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cchelp/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.tutorial.doc/topics/a_crview_ux.htm

Is it because that above command is for base clearcase view, not for UCM view ?
If so, how it is possible for a view to work with stream or vob in base clearcase ?
I’m confused.

    You need to add the -stream parameter (following cleartool mkview man page).

    ct mkview -tag myview -stream MyStream@/vobs:MyPVob /var/tmp/your-username_dynview.vws

    See for instance “How do I create a snapshot view of some project or stream in ClearCase?“.

    -str/eam stream-selector

    Specifies a UCM stream. The view being created is attached to this stream. (Cannot be used with –reg/ion.)

    stream-selector is of the form [stream:]stream-name[@vob-selector], where vob-selector specifies the stream’s project VOB.

    So the -stream is the only difference between a base ClearCase view, and an UCM view.
