Creating a view using Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC)

Important: It is a good practice to create the view outside of the default workspace.
To create a view:
  1. In the upper right corner, use the perspective menu to switch to the ClearCase perspective.
  2. Click the icon that looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign on it. The Create Base ClearCase View window opens.
  3. Enter the URL of the Rational ClearCase Web server along with your user name and password. Ask your local Rational ClearCase administrator for this URL. Click Next.
  4. Confirm the view location and accept the default config spec. Click Finish. A message opens confirming that the view was created.
  5. You will be prompted to load the view. Click Yes to continue.
  6. The ClearCase View Configuration window opens. Select the appropriate load rules. Ask your local Rational ClearCase administrator for details. Click OK to continue.
  7. There are two possibilities at this point:
    • If the method library is on the Rational ClearCase server, your view will be populated. You can then switch to the Authoring perspective. On the File menu, click Open > Method Library.
    • If the method library is not on the Rational ClearCase server, your view will be empty initially. You can copy a version of the library from some other source into your view area, or you can switch to the Authoring perspective and create a new library in the view area by clicking File > New > Method Library. After your view is fully populated you can check-in all files, which will copy your library to the server.
