Rational Team Concert™ includes
a ClearCase® Connector that
supports flexible interoperation between Rational Team Concert source
control using
the ClearCase Synchronizer and
the ClearCase Importer.
The ClearCase Connector also
supports associations between Jazz work items and Rational® ClearCase UCM
activities using the ClearCase Bridge.
The ClearCase Connector supports
a ClearCase Synchronizer for
bi-directional synchronization between Rational ClearCase source
control and Rational Team Concert source
control,
and it supports a ClearCase Importer for
one-directional importation of Rational ClearCase source
control, with history, to Rational Team Concert source
control.
The ClearCase Connector supports
the ClearCase Bridge,
which allows you to integrate ClearCase source control with Rational Team Concert so
that you can take advantage of work items and other change management
functionality without having to use Rational Team Concert source
control.
The ClearCase Synchronizer
Figure 1 illustrates the interactions among the synchronization
host, the
Jazz™ Team Server,
and
Rational ClearCase.
Figure 1. Synchronization
data flow
New versions selected by a
Rational ClearCase dynamic
view running on the synchronization host are committed to the
ClearCase Synchronized Stream by
the synchronization process. If any items in the synchronized stream
have been modified concurrently by
Rational Team Concert source
control users
and
Rational ClearCase users,
they appear in an incoming change set for the merge workspace. The
merge workspace owner resolves the conflicts, and then delivers the
merged results to the
ClearCase Synchronized Stream.
Any
Rational Team Concert source
control user
can create a repository workspace from this stream or add it as a
flow target of a repository workspace. Changes delivered from a repository
workspace to the
ClearCase Synchronized Stream are
checked in to
Rational ClearCase the
next time the synchronization process runs.
The ClearCase Bridge
To
use the ClearCase Bridge to create associations between Rational ClearCase and Rational Team Concert,
install the Rational ClearCase Remote
Client version
7.1.0.2 or later into the same eclipse shell as your installation
of Rational Team Concert version
2.0 or later.
After you have completed this, you can
create and
explore associations.
