Views are typically created by users. The process is simple, can
be automated by GUIs on all supported operating systems, and does not usually
require administrative intervention. In some cases, an administrator may be
responsible for creating shared views or for establishing policies that govern
view creation.
Network accessibility requirements for dynamic view storage depend
on the view host platform.
- On Linux® or UNIX® system
hosts, the partition where the view storage location is created must be exported
so that clients running Linux or the UNIX system can mount it.
- On Windows® hosts, the directory (folder) must be shared.
For more information, see Windows shares for VOB and view storage.
These requirements apply only to dynamic views. Storage directories
for snapshot and Web views do not have to be shared. For more information
about creating views, see the mkview reference page.
