Hi All
I am migrating VOBs from a v7 ClearCase server to a newly installed v8 server. There are many old views in the old v7 server we don't want to use (people left etc). After I copy the VOB storages over, re-register, what will happen to the views if I don't copy the view storages over? We want developers can re-create new views, may use the old names.
My concern is if we don't remove all views from the old v7 server before migration, will there be any view information stored inside the VOBs? Our v7 and v8 are totally separate servers (registry, license, VOB, etc). There should be no view information registered in the new v8 at all. So the question is: for a view, beside the registry, is there any reference inside a VOB?
Thanks

Hi Jirong,
I'm 99.9% sure that View information is only stored in a VOB while there's outstanding checkouts (you can see them when running "cleartool describe -l vob:<tag>").
However, View information *is* stored in the Registry server - is this also being migrated? Personally I'd prefer to make sure that everything's checked in, then knock up a script to delete all of the existing Views. It's really not hard to do and just keeps things tidy.
Regards,
Garry
