Dependency tracking of MVFS and non-MVFS files

You can track MVFS and non-MVFS files.

During build-script execution in a dynamic view, MVFS (multiversion file system) of a host audits low-level system calls performed on HCL VersionVault data: create, open, read, and so on. Calls involving the following objects are monitored:

  • Versions of elements used as build input.
  • View-private files used as build input (for example, the checked-out version of a file element).
  • Files that were created within VOB directories during the build.

Some of these objects are stored in the VOB, and others are view-private files. The view combines them into a virtual work area, where they appear to be located in VOB directories. They are called MVFS files because they are accessed through the MVFS.
