Creating, removing, or changing tags

Tags are typically created, removed, or modified when you rename a VOB or view or change its network access information.

About this task

Use the DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console or cleartool mktag to add, remove, or modify tags for existing VOBs and views. These are the common reasons to add or replace a tag:
  • Creating additional tags in other regions
  • Renaming a VOB or view (a VOB or view’s name is synonymous with its tag)
  • Converting a private VOB to a public VOB or vice versa
  • Any reason cited in Registering a VOB or view

To change the information in a tag, use the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console to remove the tag and create a new one, or use the cleartool rmtag and mktag commands.

To copy or move a tag to a different region, see Creating tags in a new registry region.
