To rename an element using DevOpsClearCase
Explorer(Windows)
About this task
You can rename an element or VOB symbolic link using DevOpsClearCase®
Explorer.
Procedure
In the ClearCase
Explorer Details pane, right-click
an element and click Rename.
In the Details pane, type a new name for the element.
Press Enter. A window opens and asks whether you
are sure about the rename operation.
Click Yes.
Tip: If you perform a rename operation (or a new folder operation) and try
another operation before you press Enter, the pending operation is canceled. This behavior differs
from Windows Explorer behavior because ClearCase
Explorer
must prompt you before it completes the operation. Thus, if you try any of the following operations,
the pending operation is canceled and the new operation is performed:
Click on a new folder in the Folder pane
Click on a new view shortcut in the Shortcut pane
Run a tool (for example, the History Browser, Version Tree
Browser, Properties Browser, or Diff Merge)
Hijack or unhijack a file (snapshot view only)
Do a checkin, checkout, or cancel checkout operation
Drag one or more objects onto the list
Some
operations (for example, clicking on a column or right-clicking in the Details
pane) do not cancel the pending operation.
