Question

deploy .net code using cruise control .net and clear case 7

Answer 1

A:

1/ Which View I should use for pulling the data from ClearCase

You can start with a dynamic view, since it will allow to fiddle with the config spec, until you see exactly the data you need. Then you will switch to a snapshot view.

The config spec content depends on which branch you have store your data (here an ASP.Net application).
If you are not using UCM, but just Base ClearCase, and have not modified any config spec, they are store by default in the main branch.
Meaning the default config spec is enough:

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * /main/LATEST

You can then declare a snapshot view with the same config spec lines plus one: a load rule (load /myVob/MyRootDirectory), kind of directive you will not find in a dynamic view since they are... dynamic ;) (they do not "load" anything but give you a network access to the right versions)

2/ I would like to pull the latest source from ClearCase and put the source to a specified folder on the server side

Since cruise control complains about a snapshot view, that means you must have ClearCase on the server (not always a good policy, but I am just answering your question).
If you do have ClearCase there, just declare another snapshot view with:

the same config spec as the one mentioned before
the root directory of the snapshot view as expected by cruise control ('c:/setup', supposing 'vtproject' is a Vob and 'abc`' the root directory of your ASP.Net project)

3/ The deployment has nothing to do anymore with ClearCase. Some rsynch or robocopy process is in order at this point.

@cheria: for that, I should to know a bit more of your context, and first, if you are using UCM or not (if not, do you store all files in /main or /main/anotherBranch)? Then I will illustrate... tomorrow;) (almost midnight here)

I am using clear case baseline not UCM.I am storing the .net files in Main branch for production releases, and sub branch(s) for developement and uat.also vtproject is my vob.I also created a snapshot view called vs2008_v1.
