ClearCase Reference Manual, Release 4.0, Windows

lsview

Lists view registry entries

APPLICABILITY

ClearCase (cleartool subcommand), Attache (command)

SYNOPSIS

lsview [ -s·hort | -l·ong ] [ -hos·t hostname ]: [ -pro·perties [ -ful·l ] | -age ] [ -reg·ion network-region ]
[ -cview | view-tag ... | -sto·rage view-storage-dir-pname ... | -uui·d view-uuid ]

DESCRIPTION

The lsview command lists one or more ClearCase views, including nonactive dynamic views. To be accessible to cleartool subcommands and Attache commands, including lsview, a view requires these registry entries:

One entry in the view_object registry file
One or more entries in the view_tag registry file

These files, view_object and view_tag, constitute the view registry and are located in directory ccase-home-dir\var\rgy on the network's registry server host. The registry_ccase reference page describes the ClearCase registry files in detail.

Default Output

By default, lsview lists all views registered for the current network region, whether or not they are active. The default output line for each listed view looks like this:

* doc_nt \\sunfield\share\views\doc_nt.vws

The three output fields report this information:

Whether the view is active on the host (* indicates the active dynamic view; active snapshot views are listed, but not annotated)
NOTE: lsview does not report unmounted local views as active even if they have running servers. Also, lsview does not report removed views as active.
The view-tag
The view-storage directory pathname

PERMISSIONS AND LOCKS

Permissions Checking: No special permissions required. Locks: No locks apply.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

LISTING FORMAT. Default: See the Default Output section.

-s·hort: Restricts the listing to view-tags only.

-l·ong: Expands the listing to include all information stored in the view registry regarding the listed views. (See also the registry_ccase reference page.)

-pro·perties [ -ful·l ]: Reports the following properties:

When and by whom the view was created, last modified, and last accessed

Permissions for the view owner, view group members, and others

: With the -full option, reports the following additional properties:

When and by whom view-private data was last accessed

When and by whom a view-private object was last updated

When and by whom the config spec was last updated

For a dynamic view, when and by whom a derived object was last created, promoted, and winked in

For a dynamic view, whether it creates shareable derived objects or nonshareable derived objects

The view's text mode

Whether the view is a dynamic view or a snapshot view

Whether the view is read-only or writable

-age: Reports when and by whom the view was last accessed.

SPECIFYING THE VIEWS. Default: Lists all views registered for the local network region.

-hos·t hostname: Confines the listing to views whose storage directories reside on host hostname.

-reg·ion network-region: Confines the listing to the views registered for a particular network region. (The mkview and mktag commands have a -region option, which can be used to assign view-tags to specific network regions.) The network-region argument can include pattern-matching characters as described in wildcards_ccase (ClearCase) or wildcards (Attache). If the network-region argument includes pattern-matching characters, enclose it in single quotes.

-cvi·ew: Lists the current view.

view-tag ...: Specifies a single view to be listed. The view must be registered, but it need not be active to be listed with lsview. The view-tag argument can include pattern-matching characters as described in wildcards_ccase or wildcards. Enclose in single-quotes any view-tag argument that includes pattern-matching characters.

-sto·rage view-storage-dir-pname ...: One or more views, identified by full pathnames to their storage directories.

-uui·d view-uuid: A single view, specified by its UUID (universal unique identifier).

EXAMPLES

Examples including wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the command interpreter prompt. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

List the views registered for the local network region.

cmd-context lsview

* mainRel5 \\pluto\c\views\mainRel5.vws anneRel5 \\jupiter\users\views\anneRel5.vws * anneTest \\neptune\anne\vw_store\anneTest.vws nordTest \\luna\users\nord\nordTest.vws * nordRel5 \\luna\share\vw_store\nordRel5.vws nordRel4 \\luna\share\vw_store\nordRel4.vws

List, using the long display format, the registry information for the view with view-tag mainRel5.

cmd-context lsview -long mainRel5

Tag: mainRel5 Global path: \\pluto\viewshare\mainRel5.vws Server host: pluto Region: main_headqtrs Active: YES View tag uuid:a9c1ba4d.853e11cc.a96b.08:00:69:06:05:d8 View on host: pluto View server access path: C:\views\mainRel5.vws View uuid: a9c1ba4d.853e11cc.a96b.08:00:69:06:05:d8

For a particular host, list the views whose view-tags match a wildcard pattern.

cmd-context lsview -host saturn '*anne*'

* anne_main \\saturn\c\users\anne\views\anne_main.vws anne_rel2 \\saturn\c\users\anne\views\anne_rel2.vws

List full view properties.
