Purpose
  • To ensure that any worker can 'get at' the required artifacts they need to do their work, and to ensure that artifacts are developed in a consistent manner (in accordance with the adopted project standards), and have the required level of quality if they are released for integration with other artifacts.
  • The purpose of a private workspace is to provide each worker with a work environment that is relatively isolated from other team members. A workspace is a private development area and provides an environment for a worker to make changes to artifacts having them without making them immediately visible to other workers.
Input Artifacts:
  • Any Artifact
 Resulting Artifacts:

  • Any Artifact
Frequency: On-going
Worker: Any worker
Tool Mentor: Using ClearCase to Create a Private Workspace

For development work, each worker needs to create and name a view that provides a stable, unchanging working environment. Having created a view (workspace) implementers will also need to be able to update their own workspace to see changes that other developers have promoted into the project integration workspace. The integration workspace consists of contributions from each implementer of work that has been promoted following appropriate review, testing and approval.

The suggest naming convention for private workspaces is the following <user_name>_<project> (for example, chris_t2k_gui).
