Importing additional ClearCase history

After you use the ClearCase® Importer to set up a synchronized stream and import ClearCase data with history, you can import subsequent ClearCase history.

About this task

You can import subsequent ClearCase history from UCM or base ClearCase using an existing synchronized stream. You can also select additional files and folders to import with history, but they are not imported with history from the initial baseline or backstop label type. They are imported only with history that is subsequent to the last import.
Tip: To import additional files and folders with the same history as the originally imported files and folders, create a new synchronized stream, selecting a synchronized root that contains all of the files and folders that you want to import with history.
You can request individual synchronizations using the steps below or you can schedule regular synchronizations. To view or modify the synchronization schedule for a stream, right click the stream in the ClearCase Synchronized Streams view and click Open Synchronization Schedule.

Procedure

  1. Open the Synchronized Streams view.
  2. Right-click the synchronized stream that you want to update and perform one of the following actions:
    • If you want to import additional files and folders with history, click Select files to synchronize, update the synchronized root list in the Import table with the new files and folders, and click Finish.
    • If you want to update imported files and folder with new ClearCase history, click Request Synchronization.
    Importation begins as soon as a synchronization engine process is available. If there is any new ClearCase history, subsequent to the last import, it is imported to Rational Team Concert™ source control for all synchronized roots.
