How to update clearcase snapshot view with config_spec file

Question

I created a snapshot view, which has folder structure as the following:

View_1
View_1.vws

.vws folder has a config_spec file. If I modify the config_spec file and from view shortcuts > right click > update view. The config spec from the file are not getting addressed. Only if I change the config spec from clearcase UI, (that is view properties > edit config_spec) then only the view gets updated.

I used to do this often. The difference in the setup where this is working, is only, it has view.stg folder which has config_spec file, instead of .vws folder.

Can somebody please suggest what to do.

Answer 1

If you want to edit the config spec, you should not edit the one from the view workspace (.vws)

Type instead cleartool edcs or cleartool setcs -curent (from any folder within View_1): that will achieve the same purpose, without using the GUI.

Answer 2

Thanks for the inputs.

cleartool setcs -current

worked for me.
