To load and unload elements in a snapshot view using Rational ClearCase Explorer
(Windows)
You can load elements in and unload elements from
a snapshot view.
In the Rational® ClearCase® Explorer
Shortcut pane, do one of the following:
Click Toolbox. Then click Base ClearCase > Edit View Properties. In the Edit View Properties window, click Snapshot,
select the view, and click OK.
Click Views. Then click the page
containing the shortcut for the snapshot view and click the shortcut. In the
Folder pane, right-click the view root directory and click Properties
of View.
The Properties window opens.
In the Properties window, click the Load
Rules tab, and click Edit load rules.
In the Choose Elements to Load window, perform one
of the following actions:
To load elements, choose elements from the Available
Elements list and click Add.
Attention: Using symbolic links incorrectly in snapshot views can result
in loss of data. Before loading and using symbolic links in a snapshot view,
read about VOB links.
To unload elements, choose elements from the Selected
Elements list and click Remove.
Tip: If you unload a directory element, all elements below the directory
are unloaded also. Any view-private files or directories are saved to a .unloaded directory.
Click OK and Apply.
The Start Update window opens.
The update operation
makes sure that your view contains the set of versions that the modified config
spec selects.
You can choose only to load the new files or update
the entire view. (Preview is inactive.) To
update the entire view, clear Load only from the new load rules and
click OK.
Update runs and the ClearCase Snapshot View Update
window opens. Examine the update results and click File > Exit and, in the Properties window, click OK.
