How to move base clearcase view (dynamic) to another host


I have 6 base clearcase views on one host i want to move them to another host. What is the best way of doing it ? I have a preconfigured specfile in every view i'll need to copy this spec file as well. Lets say that the views currently located on hostname: "test1" and i want to move them to "test2"


Solution

  • Chaging the view storage path is easy on the same server ("Moving the view storage location of a web view")

    But moving from one view server to another server is more complex (see "Moving a view to a host with a different architecture").
    It would involve a cleartool reformatview -dump/-load I mentioned in this answer.

    Sometime, it is easier to delete them in one server, and simply re-create them in the other.
