Exploring ClearCase metadata in base ClearCase VOBs

Use the ClearTeam Navigator and the ClearTeam Details views to explore ClearCase® metadata in base ClearCase (non-UCM project) VOBs.

About this task

The ClearTeam Navigator and the ClearTeam Details views display branch types and label types in base ClearCase VOBs. Using these views, you can also perform ClearCase operations on the metadata, such as creating label and branch types, and applying labels to ClearCase resources.

Procedure

To explore ClearCase metadata:
  1. Click Window > Show View > ClearTeam Navigator.
    If the ClearTeam Navigator is not in the list, click Other > ClearCase and then select the ClearTeam Navigator.
    The ClearTeam Navigator opens.
  2. If using a Web view, click the plus sign (+) to the left of the ClearCase node that is followed by the name of the server that you want to explore.
    If using a Dynamic view, click the plus sign (+) to the left of the ClearCase Local node or click the plus sign (+) to the left of the Dynamic view name. At any time, you can also click any object in the ClearTeam Navigator and open the ClearTeam Details view.
    The node expands and displays the VOBs known to the server.
  3. In the ClearTeam Navigator, click the plus sign (+) to the left of a base ClearCase VOB (VOB folder icon) to explore the metadata.
  4. Click the Branch Types or Label Types folder.
    The branch types or label types defined in the selected VOB are displayed in the ClearTeam Details view.
