Answer
Components are the UCM mechanism for simplifying the organization of your files and directories.
The directory and file elements of a component reside in a single VOB, the top directory of the directory tree is referred to as the Component Root Directory (CRD).
If the VOB is a single Component VOB then the CRD is the VOB tag. If the VOB contains multiple components, then the CRD of each component is a sub directory under the VOB tag.
- A CRD that is located within a Multiple Component VOB cannot be renamed
- Renaming the component (as detailed in Document 330047 "Renaming a UCM Component") does rename the UCM Object, but does not rename its CRD
The VOB tag of a Single Component VOB can only be changed (renamed) using the cleartool sub-commands, rmtag and mktag, as detailed in Document 75327 "Renaming a ClearCase VOB or View".
The following Example has been provided to illustrate how the VOB tag of a component VOB can be renamed, but still point to the same component object that has not been renamed.
