Control > Show > ClearCase VOBsThis command creates a viewer window which displays available ClearCase VOBs. By default the window shows only those VOBs that are Apex-enabled, but a radio button at the bottom of the window allows all available VOBs to be viewed. This command is only available if you have purchased the Apex/ClearCase integration product.
