I’m using only CCRC – I don’t have ClearCase locally installed.
I use CCRC Version: 7.1.1 Build id: 7.1.1.03.00_2010C.D100803
I’m working with a mature user of ClearCase – they have hundreds of work streams in a complex child parent relationship tree. When I create a view or stream CCRC offers me a picture of this complex tree and the location of my view (or stream if I’m creating a stream).
However, once my local view is set up there appears to be no mechanism for checking the location of any views. CCRC menus which ‘show ClearCase view configuration’ only show the load rules (i.e. which VOB’s I’m currently selecting).
Another post to Stack Overflow tells me that ‘.ccase_wvreg‘ lists the local file paths where local copies of the files are stored. But ‘.ccase_wvreg’ doesn’t show the logical name of the views.
So how does CCRC find a map the logical view names and their configuration?
Is there another file I can examine (or other work around?) which would show me the complete view configuration.
The only workaround I have today (other than being incredibly careful and keeping png images of the stream as I set it up) is to commence the process of creating a new view or stream and retrace my steps.
Its surprising that being able to confirm the location of a view is so difficult – given what happens if one mistakenly checks in or deliver to the wrong stream!!
The CLI (Command Line Interface) for CCRC might be able to provide more information, espcially regarding the config spec of your view, in which there should be mentioned the name of the associated Stream.
But check first in the properties of the view. It can also include that information.
