I was trying to co in a temp View and got ERROR
cleartool: Error: branch type "tmp-abc" not found in VOB "/vob/myvob" and no global type definition can be found.

How to resolve???
cleartool describe /vob/my_vob | more
Hyperlinks:
Merge <- /vob/my_vob/.@@/main/ttt-main/rrr_r1.0_bld-2.00/1 Not able to resolve it ---------------Config spec ------------------ Note: 1
Copy config spec from other view
ct catcs -tag view_name > ~/new_spec
ct setcs new_spec

Note: 2
After creating view we have to create Branch because in config spec we keep on rule pertaining to Check outs .
mkbranch dev-111
we need to create branch dev-111
ct mkbrtype -nc dev-111
if it gives error
Brtype must be made in admin vob
means we are not in admin vob
ct mkbrtype -nc dev-111@/vob/mainvob

Note: 3
As we know it executes top to bottom
Never include any branch before mkbranch RULE
other wise it will get check out form there and not from our branch .
CR view config_spec -
element * .../dev-1111/LATEST # CR branch
element .../lost+found -none
mkbranch dev-111
element * .../dev-222/LATEST # Always add Branch here <------- element * SOMELABEL1.0 # Baseline element * .../some_ver_of_loadline/0 element * RELEASE1.0 element * /main/0 end mkbranch dev-1111 -------------------- TO freeze included branche changes time can be used Example: element * .../dev-2222/LATEST -time 23-Apr.11:00 TO make Sharable branch
mkview -share_br -cr crno -b LABEL
to create a view based on an existing shared branch -
mkview -clone_br branch_name -mknt -b LABEL -tag view_name
