clearcase

Hi

I am trying to create a new snapshot view on my machine and i am using the following procedure:

creating the view using ct mkview -snapshot -tag testview -vws /home/store/testview.vws /home/view/testview here the view gets created but fails to register which i register using the ct update on this /home/view/testview location

tried to change the configspec using ct edcs & but got error "cleartool: Error: Cannot get view info for current view: not a ClearCase object."

explicitly modifying the config_spec using vi editor, and the updating the view ends up creating a log...but no files are copied :(

Can someone please direct me as to where i am going wrong?

How do I look at checked out files from another view in my Clearcase config spec

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I wonder how I look at a checked out file from another view. We are using dynamic views and I can see other views checked out files using clearcase version tree so I think it should be possible to specify in a config spec. When I check out a file I can see the following information. cleartool lshistory "20100312… >>> More
