About dynamic view storage directories

Every view has a view storage directory. For dynamic views, this directory is used to keep track of which versions are checked out to your view and to store view-private objects. The view storage directory is for DevOps Code ClearCase® administrative purposes only. Do not modify anything in it.

The size of the view storage directory depends on the following factors:

• Whether you use the clearmake (or omake on Windows® systems only) build auditing and build avoidance features

  For more information, see the clearmake or omake reference pages in the DevOps Code ClearCase Command Reference.

• The size and number of view-private files

On the UNIX system or Linux®, to create a dynamic view, you must provide a path for the view storage directory of the view.

On Windows systems, the first time you create a dynamic view, the wizard provides a default path for the storage directory. Click Advanced Options to provide a different path for the view storage directory. The location you choose becomes the default for other dynamic views that you create.
