Let's assume that your project is composed of 3 VOBs and you have views on 3 boxes that look at one of the VOBs each. In that case, to use this script you would create a source view on one of those machines that has a config spec that loads up all 3 VOBs and then use the script as usual. There isn't any special jiggery required with the config spec -- you could just concatenate the specs you're using for the 3 partial views.</p> Not sure what you mean.
