  • 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

    Finally, 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".
