My Snapshot views in ClearCase have disappeared, how can I get them back?

Question

I have 3 views on my machine, I can see the structure on the windows directory but now when I open ClearCase I cannot see any of them on the ClearCase Navigator...how can I add them?

Answer 1

The cleanest solution:

Go at the root directory of one of those views in a shell session (DOS or bash or...) type:

clearexplorer .

^{(Note the final space followed by a dot '.')}

That will open the ClearCase Explorer directly in the current path, and will restore the right shortcut.

The "less-clean" solution:

Open the ClearCase Explorer, and ask for a "refresh view shortcuts" Alt+F5.

If your identity hasn't changed, it will restore the shortcuts of all your views in the ClearCase Explorer.

If that doesn't work:

• check the properties from one of your views:

cd /path/to/root/of/one/of/your/views
cleartool lsview -l -full -pro -cview

• compare that with your credentials (how you are known both locally and on your Vob server)

credmap VobServerName

(you need to add etc/utils from ClearCase to your path)
