Automatic views fail when using "nested" load rules

Troubleshooting


Problem

Using "nested" load rules with IBM Rational ClearCase Automatic views fails.

Symptom

In this example,

load /vob1/dir1
load /vob1/dir1/abc
load /vob1/dir1/cde


the first rule loads all subdirectories and files in /vob1/dir1. The second and third "nested" rules are redundant; however, their presence in this context results in an error.

Cause

Automatic views do not support "nested" load rules.

Resolving The Problem

Set the pathname for a load rule to the directory that encompasses all needed files and directories. To expand the scope of a load rule to include the parent of the currently specified pathname, do not add another load rule for the parent directory; instead, replace the current rules with a rule that specifies the parent.

For example, delete these rules:

load /vob1/dir1/abc
load /vob1/dir1/cde

then add this rule:

load /vob1/dir1
