clearcase: shared dynamic views in windows

Clearcase in unix allows 'export views', which non-clearcase users can mount via nfs.

Can a similar feat be achieved with the windows version? I want to use windows filesharing on a dynamic view, so that the MVFS will be mounted on one system, and all other computers could simply use windows filesharing to mount it (readonly if that matters).

Solution

  • No, the help page "Configuring non-ClearCase access on Linux or the UNIX system" clearly states:

    Non-ClearCase access is not supported on hosts running Linux or the UNIX system and Rational ClearCase LT, or on any Rational ClearCase Windows host.

    I would rather try and use a snapshot view on Windows, which you can then share (regular windows folder share) on your disk in order for others to access.
