Use explicit path
Use this option to place the view storage directory for your dynamic view in a location that you specify (in View Storage Pathname on Linux and the UNIX system and in View storage location on the Windows system). Do either of the following actions:
- Enter the path (on Linux and the UNIX system) or
UNC name (on the Windows system) of the view-storage directory.
On Linux and the UNIX system, the name must refer to an exported directory.
On the Windows system, the name must refer to a shared directory on a DevOps Code ClearCase® host that is set up to store view storage directories. For example, \\bread\views\pat_cropcircle.vws is a valid entry.
- Navigate to and select the location to use. Then click
OK.
On Linux and the UNIX system, click the ellipsis (…) to the right of the text box.
On the Windows system, click Browse to the right of the text box.
Ensure that an entry in Network region specifies the region to which the view-storage directory host belongs.
The triple path
- Host Name
- The name of the DevOps Code ClearCase host that stores the view-storage directory or the DevOps Code ClearCase host that can access a location on a supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) device which contains the view storage directory.
- Host Path
- The path of the view-storage directory that is valid on the host that you specified in Host Name.
- Global Path
- The path of the view-storage directory that is valid on all hosts from which the view is accessed.
Specify the triple path only when required to explicitly set the registry information of a view, for example, to locate the view storage directory on a supported network attached storage device. This is necessary if you want the view to be accessed from any computer in your network region and the topology your network cannot be extrapolated correctly.
If you set Specify triple path, you must enter information in all fields.
