The view storage directory
A dynamic view is implemented as a standard directory, whose root is called the view storage directory.
The view storage directory contains these files and subdirectories, all of which are created and modified DevOps Code ClearCase® commands and must never be modified in any other way:
- .access_info
- A file of view access event information that is periodically updated by the view server.
- .pid
- A one-line text file that lists the process ID of the view’s view_server process.
- admin
- A directory that contains administrative data related to the amount of disk space a view is using. Use space –view to list this data.
- config_spec
- A file that stores the view’s current config spec, in the form displayed by catcs.
- .compiled_spec
- A modified version of config_spec, which includes accounting information.
- .identity
- On Linux or on the UNIX system, a subdirectory whose zero-length files establish the view’s owner and group memberships.
- identity.sd
- On Windows®, a binary data file that contains the security descriptor for the view storage directory.
- .s
- A subdirectory that implements the view’s private storage area.
- db
- A subdirectory containing the files that implement the view’s embedded database.
- .view
- A file that lists the view’s universal unique identifier (UUID) and other attributes
