Solution

  • You would use a Windows-style UNC path, so: \\ccaseind\viewstore\mainr2.vws

    You can see example of dynamic and snapshot view creation in the question "How do I create a snapshot view of some project or stream in ClearCase?"
    (just remove the -stream argument which is used by UCM)

    For a snapshot view, in your case, you are missing a -vws in front of the shared path.
