ClearCase Snapshot View Not Updating

Question

I am using ClearCase for the first time, and am having a little trouble understanding snapshot views. I have a view with the config spec

element * CHECKEDOUT         


        

Answer 1

Try with a config spec like:

element * CHECKEDOUT
element * .../dev/LATEST
element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch dev
load "\project\dir1"
load "\project\dir2"
load "\project\dir3"

You should always need the last selection rule element * /main/LATEST because to load/access an element, you need to load/access its parent element, and it is possible that /project does not have any version in the dev branch.

While your element is visible in your dynamic view, try and see if it is visible in another dynamic view with your original config spec mentioned in your question.

Try and create again your element with your dynamic view and the config spec mentioned above: that is how you create new branches for element.
