The plugin will create a view in the workspace with the specified view tag. The view tag is a server identifier which must be unique on a ClearCase server.

If you have several jobs that uses this ClearCase plugin you need to specify a unique view tag for each job. To help creating unique view tags, there are two macros that will be replaced in the view name.

  1. ${NODE_NAME} is replaced with the name of the node
  2. ${JOB_NAME} is replaced with the name of the job
  3. ${USER_NAME} is replaced with the name of the user that is running Hudson

The view tag is available as an environment variable named CLEARCASE_VIEWTAG.
