Use the load rule editor in the ClearCase® View Configuration tool to create or modify load
rules for snapshot, web, and automatic views. The load rule editor is not applicable for a dynamic
view.
About this task
The ClearCase Edit Configuration dialog box includes a load
rule editor with which you can explore the contents of VOBs accessible to the CCRC WAN
server and add load rules that specify all or part of a VOB's
contents. You can also remove load rules.
Procedure
To use the load rule editor:
- In the ClearTeam
Navigator, select a web view, automatic
view, or snapshot view.
- From the ClearTeam
Navigator context menu, select
Show ClearCase View
Configuration to open the ClearCase
View Configuration view.
- Optional: To view or edit load rules as text, click the
icon on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar and select
Edit Configuration or click the
icon on the ClearCase View Configuration toolbar to open the
Edit Configuration dialog box.
- In the Edit Configuration dialog box,
click the Load Rules tab, then add load rules
by selecting them in the Select resources and add or remove
rules tree and clicking Add. You
can remove load rules by selecting them in the Load Rules list
box and clicking Remove.
- To add a rule that loads an entire VOB, select the VOB folder
from the list and click Apply.
- To add a rule that loads a subdirectory of a VOB, click the
plus sign (+) to the left of any folder to list its contents, then
select the folders or files you want to load and click Apply.
- When you have finished adding load rules, click OK to
close the Edit Configuration dialog box.
Results
When you load or update a view, the ClearTeam
Explorer contacts the CCRC WAN
server (in the case of an automatic view or web view) or the
VOB server (in the case of a snapshot view) and requests a version of each element in each load
rule's scope. The versions requested are determined by the view's config spec. The time required to
load a view depends on the number and size of resources that must be loaded, and on the speed of
your connection to the server.
