The FishEye repository admin page for ClearCase repositories contains drop-down lists for selecting VOBs, UCM Projects and branches. Cleartool commands are being executed to populate the drop-down lists, but on medium to large ClearCase installations these commands can take a long time to complete.
We should redesign the admin page for ClearCase repositories to not execute any cleartool commands at all. For example:
- replace the drop-down lists with standard text input fields.
- add validation to verify that the VOBs/UCM projects that are specified exist.
But this would also be a good opportunity to look how we can simplify the repository admin for ClearCase. Some thoughts:
- Simply allow the user to specify a number of views to be included in the repository. All versions that are visible from one or more of the views (including the ancestry) should be indexed by FishEye.
