The plugin will create a view in the workspace with the specified view name. The view is a normal folder which can be accessed by the build tools. Make sure that there is no other folder in the workspace with the same name as the specified view name.

If you have several jobs that uses this ClearCase plugin you need to specify a unique view name for each job. To help creating unique view names, you can use variables that will be replaced in the view name.

Some Examples: Note that you can use any environment/build variable as long as it respects the following syntax: ${VARIABLE_NAME}

The name of the view is available as an environment variable named CLEARCASE_VIEWNAME.

The absolute path to the ClearCase view is available as an environment variable named CLEARCASE_VIEWPATH.
