Hi,
sorry, for my unclear formulation.
What I would like to be able to find out is what views are started on which
client machines. If I would loop over all our ClearCase machines, executing
on each a 'cleartool lsview' and log all lines marked with an asterisk, this
would be a good starting point. However, I wonder if there is a faster
method (besides the fact that it is not as easy for me to "loop over all our
ClearCase machines" as it would be in a UNIX environment *sigh*).
Our environment currently uses dynamic views with centralized remote storage
on a view server. We currently need to investigate our ressource usage,
because our server machine reaches its limits ...
Also for statistical reasons, I'd like to know how many views are actively
used (ie. started on client machines). Additionally, this would allow me to
produce figures like:
1. How many views are actively used over a period of time (for example
during the day)?
2. How many views are simultaneously started on a single client machine on
the average?
and maybe others. I'm already tracking our license usage. As far as I know
it is possible to use only one license with multiple views when accessing
the same VOB.
Our main problem here is to have "hard facts" to argue for some investments
or to be able to proove that there is something wrong. Be it our ClearCase
configuration (well, *no* ;-) or our network/infrastructure.
Hope that this clarifies my former message.
Thanks
Peter

I'm not quite shure what you mean. A view is always started (means view
server process is running) on the machine where the view storage
directory resides. So on the command line (even on Windows) you can use
'cleartool lsview' to see which views are active (marked with an
asterisk).
On Unix or Windows with cygwin, I would type 'cleartool lsview|grep
"\*"|grep mymachine|wc -l' to find out how many views are active on
mymachine.
To find out how many of them are used on a particular machine (other
than mymachine), go to that machine's m: drive (/view) on unix and count
the directories in there.
Bye...
Dirk
