Getting the latest version
When you use a snapshot view
you must remember to get the latest files from the VOB on a regular
basis or changes that others check in can break your script. Updating
once a day is probably enough, depending on your particular team's
needs.
About this task
ClearCase® copies the latest version of an element from the VOB to your snapshot view. A element is an object in a VOB, a database that stores your project's files. An element can be a Functional Test script, a Functional Test project, an object map or a Java™ file. All elements are stored with version history and comments.
The following table explains how ClearCase works when it gets the latest version of an element:
| Versioned object | Information updated |
|---|---|
| Project | All files in the project, including scripts. |
| Folder | All files in the folder. |
| Script | The script and all supporting files for that script. |
Procedure
- From the Projects view, right-click an element, and then click .
- Click Finish.
