Why new created default dynamic view is full of non archived files and folder?


All the VOBs are BASE Clearcase.

When I create a new dynamic default Clearcase view as my_view, the elements archived in Clearcase are well in folder:

/views/my_view/vobs/vob_001/... archived elements

But, I don't know why there is exist plenty of non archived files and folder there:

/views/my_view/... plenty of non archived files and folders

Solution

  • A dynamic view storage folder will keep versioned and non-versioned (and non-archived) files in it:

    For dynamic views, this directory is used to keep track of which versions are checked out to your view and to store view-private objects.

    That is why, by the way, View storage maintenance for dynamic views does advise:

    Removal of unneeded view-private objects.
    As with any other isolated work area, a view’s private storage area tends to accumulate some unneeded files: temporary files, text-editor backup files, excerpts from mail messages and source files, and so on.
