chview

The –cachesize option changes the cache size for a view and is equivalent to the setcache –view –cachesize command. For information about view caches, see the setcache reference page.

The –shareable_dos and –nshareable_dos options change the properties of the derived objects (DOs) created by future builds in the dynamic view. Shareable DOs are available for winkin by other views; nonshareable DOs are not available for winkin by other views. Both kinds of DOs have configuration records, but clearmake does not write shopping information for nonshareable DOs into the VOB. For more information about shareable and nonshareable DOs, see the IBM Rational ClearCase Guide to Building Software.

Using the –shareable_dos or –nshareable_dos option does not change the properties of the existing DOs in the view. To make a nonshareable DO shareable, you must use the winkin command. You cannot make a shareable DO nonshareable.

The –readonly and –readwrite options change the access mode for the view's private data-storage area. By default, views have read-write access. If you change a view's property to read-only, you cannot use the view to perform any operation that creates new files in view-private storage (for example, checkouts or builds).

Changing a view's property to read-only does not prevent users from changing the view's config spec. For information about restricting changes to the config spec, see the mkview reference page.
