Mapping an automatic view root directory to a drive letter
You can use the rcleartool command to start an automatic view to specify a drive letter that maps to that automatic view, in the same way as a dynamic view does.
Mapping
Procedure
-
VersionVault views:
The rcleartool startview command, the VersionVault Explorer, and the VersionVault integration with Visual Studio provide support for SUBST’d automatic view root directories.
-
Mapping can be done using the rcleartool startview
command, the VersionVault
Explorer,
and the VersionVault
integration with Visual Studio to provide support for
SUBST’d automatic view root directories.
Unmapping
Procedure
Unmapping can be done either with the rcleartool
command or the VersionVault
Explorer.
-
rcleartool command: Unmap the subst
/D command, using the following commands from the
rcleartool command line.
-
rcleartool> endview view-tag
-
rcleartool> rmview -tag view-tag
-
-
VersionVault
Explorer:
Right-click a view-tag and select End View or Remove VersionVault View.
Limitations
Procedure
- The VersionVault Explorer Start View operation does not allow for the mapping of drives.
- Mapped drives do not persist across reboots. However, you can create a batch file in your Windows Startup folder that can start your views and map them to the correct drive letters using one or more rcleartool commands.
- rcleartool startview supports more than one view at once (for example, rcleartool startview view-tag1 view-tag2 ... view-tagN), when using the -subst flag, you can start only one view (for example, rcleartool startview -subst T: view-tag).
