  • ClearCase Support: Finding and Setting Views


    I'm often asked to find out Views, so here are a few ClearCase commands to help find and set Views.

    First, to list all the Views from every user, run this command:

    cleartool lsview

    Second, to search every View belonging to a certain user (assuming the user's id is in the View's name or path), run this command:

    In UNIX: cleartool lsview | grep USER_ID

    In Windows: cleartool lsview | find "USER_ID"

    Third, to find more information about any View, run this command:

    cleartool lsview -long VIEW_NAME

    Next, to set a View from the command line, run this command:

    cleartool setview VIEW_NAME

    Findly, to display the ClearCase View that the current command line is in, run this command:

    cleartool pwv

    In short, this command is called "pwv" and that stands for "Path of Working View".

    If you have any other ClearCase questions, please do not hestitate to contact me for free advice.
