Update status (Windows)
This window displays the progress of the Update Tool as it updates elements in a view. The window appears for every update and preview operation, but closes if there are no hijacked files or errors.
Use this window to gauge the number of elements evaluated versus the number of elements already in the view. The window displays a message telling whether errors were encountered.
Cancel and close
Click Cancel to stop the update. The update operation stops and the text of the Cancel button changes to Close. The Update View window displays the actions taken up to the point of cancellation.
After the update, the text of the Cancel button changes to Close. Click the button to close the window.
Details and no details
Details/No Details changes the display of the window to show either the Progress Meter only or the Progress Meter, update messages, and update statistics.
The indicator in the Progress Meter increases to show the number of elements that have been evaluated in contrast to the total number of elements in the view. The indicator is not meant to provide a reliable time estimate because it does not predict which elements need to be changed or loaded.
In the Details area, select Display results when closed to open the Update View window when you close this window. When you start a view update explicitly and when you change the config spec, the Update View window opens. To open this window for other update operations, select this option.
In the Details area, a message list displays nontrivial updates that may require further input from you. For example, this list includes any DevOps Code ClearCase® update errors.
Update statistics
Update statistics are displayed at the bottom of the Details area.
- Remaining
- Shows the number of elements specified by load rules, but not yet evaluated to determine whether a version of the element needs to be loaded into the view.
- Unchanged
- Shows the number of times no action was taken because the version in the view matches the version in the VOB.
- Changed
- Shows the number of times that the Update Tool replaced a version in the view with a version from the VOB.
- New
- Shows the number of new elements that were loaded into the view.
- Unloaded
- Shows the number of times that the Update Tool removed the element from the view because it is no longer selected by the config spec.
- Hijacked
- Shows the number of loaded file elements that have been modified but not checked out. The action that the Update Tool takes depends on the current set of update defaults.
- Errors
- Shows the number of DevOps Code ClearCase errors when updating elements. For DevOps Code ClearCase errors, the Update View window includes an Errors folder, which lists the elements that generated errors along with the DevOps Code ClearCase error message.
