Before moving a dynamic view storage directory
Each dynamic view includes a view storage directory, which is used to maintain the view. Do not use the standard methods to move a view storage directory for the following reasons:
- The view storage directory includes a database. Moving the database without first shutting down the view_server process for the view can corrupt the database.
- The location of view storage directories is stored in a set of DevOps Code ClearCase® registries. The information in these registries must be correct for you to perform DevOps Code ClearCase operations in your views. In a dynamic view, the location in DevOps Code ClearCase registries must be correct for you to access any file or directory in the view.
Ask your DevOps Code ClearCase administrator to move view storage directories because it might affect other, potentially many, DevOps Code ClearCase users at your site. The Administrator's Guide describes the procedure for moving view storage directories.
Attention: You will lose data (including view-private files in a dynamic
view) if you move a view storage directory without following the procedure described in the Administrator's Guide.
Tip: For information about changing the view tag
of a view (which is the logical name for a view), see the mktag reference
page. You can also change the drive assigned to a view.
