View
Use this page to set options for creating and starting views.
- Option
- Description
- When creating views, make interop (MS-DOS) text mode the default
- This option sets the default text mode for views created with the GUI.
You can override the view_interop_text_mode site-wide property. The cleartool lssite -inquire command lists the default value of the site-wide property.
If you select this option, your view-creation default for text mode is insert_cr (formerly MSDOS). This is equivalent to using the cleartool mkview -tmode insert_cr command. This mode supports Windows clients that write text files with lines ending in <CR><LF> and that share those files with UNIX clients that write text files with lines ending in <NL>. This mode does not affect the code stored in the VOB. Instead, the text is adjusted when you read or check out the file.
Tip: You should not use interop mode views until you encounter a verifiable problem that you need to solve.If you clear this option, your view-creation default for text mode is transparent (formerly unix). This is equivalent to using the cleartool mkview -tmode transparent command. No line terminator processing is done in DevOps Code ClearCase®.
- Reset default
- Click Reset Default to apply the value for the view_interop_text_mode site-wide property as your default (type cleartool lssite -inquire to see the current value).
- Restart at logon
- Select this option to set the Restart at Logon option as the default in Start View. Clear this option to omit starting the view.
