ClearCase host node

The Host node manages VOBs, views, scheduled jobs, and server logs for a single host running IBM® ClearCase®. In ClearCase Host Administration, this is the top-level node. In ClearCase Administration Console, it appears in two contexts:

  • The node for the local host has the name My Host in the console tree.
  • The node for another host on the network is a subnode of the ClearCase Network node and has the same name in the console tree as the name of the host.
Note: If you specify a host by using its fully qualified domain name (for example, host.yourdomain.com), the host's VOB and view tags are not listed unless the same fully qualified domain name was specified as the host name when the tags were created.
