Starting the Project Explorer

The Project Explorer is available on both UNIX and Windows platforms.

You start the Project Explorer as follows:

• On Windows, by clicking Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational ClearCase > Project Explorer (or IBM Rational® ClearCase® LT > Project Explorer).
• On UNIX by typing clearprojexp & at the system prompt in a terminal window.
  Figure 1. The Project's Root Folder

1. Start the Project Explorer by clicking Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational ClearCase > Project Explorer (or IBMRational ClearCase LT > Project Explorer).
2. Navigate the left pane until you see "fhembert_cctut_ucm_pvob" and select it.
3. Take a screen shot and save it as a gif file (tut_ucm_proj_root_folder.gif)
4. Go to the next instructions for tut_ucm_projexplorer.gif

The left pane of the Project Explorer lists folders for all PVOBs in the local Rational ClearCase domain. Each PVOB has its own root folder. All VOBs shown in the example are UCM PVOBs.

In Figure 1, the selected root folder is the tutorial's PVOB: fhembert_cctut_ucm_pvob. Rational ClearCase creates the root folder using the name of the PVOB.

Figure 2. The Project `s Component Folder

Figure 2 also shows the empty folder called Components that Rational ClearCase created when you created the PVOB. Rational ClearCase uses this folder to store the project components that you are going to create in the next exercise.

The following sections guide you in creating a project component baseline.
