Why my clearcase views are often stopped?

Question

We recently upgraded to Clearcase version 8.0.1.8 . In recent days our Clearcase dynamic views are often stopped. Since my views were used in Jenkins if they stopped , some user are calling me and say build is not working.

The root cause is Clearcase view is stopped. How to avoid this ? Or is there any way to start my view every time via Jenkins?

Answer 1

What you can do is force Jenkins to start the view it needs to use. This can be done with the "cleartool startview" command. You just need to specify the view tag you want to start at the beginning of the job that needs to use the view, e.g.,

cleartool startview <view-tag>
