Newly created view not visible in ClearCase explorer: how can I see it?

Question

I created a view using the ClearCase explorer.

But after its creation, the view is not visible in the listing of views within the explorer.
I tried closing the explorer and starting again. But no use...
What would you suggest?

Answer 1

I would recommend the following procedure:

• open a DOS windows
• goes to the root of your view ( c:\path\to\myView for snapshot views, M:\MyView for dynamic view)
• type 'clearexplorer . (note the 'space-dot' after the clearexplorer command)

That should:

• open your ClearCase explorer directly on the right view
• add the right view shortcut

Answer 2

Sometimes ALBD service of the ClearCase doesnot start due to which you will not be able to view the clearcase views.

To solve this problem,

Go to control panel for windows machine and restart the clearcase services in ClearCase properties and try and check.

The views will be shown now.
