Snapshot view directory
The snapshot view directory holds versions of elements loaded from one or more VOBs.
The snapshot view directory uses the host’s native file system
(unlike a dynamic view, which uses the MVFS). In addition to copies of versions,
the root of this directory contains the following files and subdirectories,
which are created and modified HCL
VersionVault commands
and must never be modified in any other way:
- view.dat
- A read-only text file used to identify the current directory as part of a view. (.view.dat on Linux or the UNIX system.)
- view.stg (or a generated directory name)
- A directory used to maintain the view. (.view.stg on Linux or the UNIX system.) For a collocated view storage directory only, the default name of this directory is named view.stg; for any other view storage directory, this directory has a generated name.
