To create a public VOB, you must specify –public on the mkvob command line or select the Make this a public VOB check box in the VOB Creation Wizard. You must also supply the Rational ClearCase registry password.
If you specify –public but do not know the Rational ClearCase registry password (or this password has not been established), the VOB is created without a tag, and you must create the tag in a separate operation. For more information about this password, see Setting and using the Rational ClearCase registry password and the rgy_passwd reference page.
