The Reference Trees Tab

The Reference Trees tab displays summary information on some or all of the reference trees in the AccuRev repository.

Choose Admin > Reference Trees from the GUI main menu.

The Reference Trees tab contains a table with these columns:

(appears if Include deactivated trees is checked) Active indicates that the reference tree is available for use. Inactive indicates that the reference tree is currently deactivated (but can be reactivated).

Name

The name of the reference tree.

Location

The pathname of the reference tree on the machine where it resides.

Host

The name or IP address of the machine where the reference tree resides.

Stream#

The integer stream-ID of the stream on which the reference tree is based. This number is unique with the reference tree's depot only, not across the entire repository.

Target Transaction

(appears if Show details is checked) The depot's transaction level at the time the Update command was most recently invoked on the reference tree. Update attempts to load versions created in transactions up to and including the target transaction. If the Target Transaction and Update Level are the same, the reference tree's most recent update completed successfully.

Update Level

(appears if Show details is checked) The highest-numbered transaction whose versions have been copied to the reference tree in an update.

Type

(appears if Show details is checked) The integer 3, indicating that the type of data structure is a reference tree.

EOL

(appears if Show details is checked) The type of line terminator used when an update copies text-file versions to the reference tree: Auto (line terminator used by the host machine's OS), UNIX (NL), or Windows (CR-LF).

Working in a Reference Trees Tab

You can apply filters to control the amount of data displayed in the reference trees table, and you can perform a number of operations on a selected reference tree. See also: Working with Tables
