Unlike dynamic views, which store location information in the Rational® ClearCase® registry,
snapshot views store location information in per-user snapshot view registries.
The per-user snapshot view registries take different forms on different
platform types:
- On Windows®, this information is stored in the Windows registry
of the host from which the user created the snapshot view.
- On Linux® or
the UNIX® system,
this information is stored in a file named .ccase_svreg in
the user’s home directory.
Note: If .ccase_svreg becomes
corrupted or has an access mode that does not allow reading or writing, the
user’s snapshot views may become inaccessible. For information about how to
regenerate this file, see Working in Base ClearCase.
