How to setup activity automatically for a view?

Question

In our build , we use to delete our view and create new view before build.

It was working without any issue in base clearcase.

But in UCM we face issues whil

Answer 1

@Samselvaprabu , agreeing with VonC on other things and that activities are,at best, logical groupings of code/development tasks. For example 5 source code + 1 property files for resolving a QA defect.

Though when you ask how many activities ? there is no specific guideline which IBM provides (AFAIK) on this, but in my experience

1. A typical activity may not have too few, meaning 1,2 files or too many (say 15+) files.
2. An activity naming convention (though inconsistent when manual) would help. For example username_ShortDescreption/DefectID_date might help in organizing, sorting of activites when the need arises. And trust me, it will.
3. Obsoleting activities based on some criteria such as age (more than 1 month) is good for housekeeping.
4. An activity per build ?? - I would say this is subjective to how many times you build, how many artifacts go per build , how many view/developers you have and so on. You could have a build<>activity relationship which is 1<>n or n<>1 which is completely case-specific to your environment. That's the beauty and also the curse of UCM.

These suggestions are not exactly would you asked for but I feel this a a good time to give them as you are just starting with this complex, messy world called UCM :)
