The ClearCase® Connector must
be installed on a Rational® ClearCase client
host that supports dynamic views.
This host (called the synchronization host) is responsible
for the initial import and subsequent synchronization operations.
- It must be running Rational ClearCase release
7.0.0 or later, and must support dynamic views.
- The cleartool and ratlperl executables
must be in the default path for Rational ClearCase users.
On some platforms, this is configured by the Rational ClearCase installation.
- If the synchronization host is running The UNIX® System
or Linux® and must support synchronization with
UCM projects that are enabled for Rational ClearQuest®,
the Rational ClearQuest shlib directory
(typically located in /opt/rational/clearquest/shlib)
must be in the default path for Rational ClearCase users
if the synchronization host. In addition, you must configure ratlperl for
use with Rational ClearQuest by
running the cq_setup script (typically installed
under /opt/rational/clearquest) before you start
the Rational Team Concert™ on
the synchronization host.
Users who work exclusively in Rational Team Concert source
control do
not need to import or synchronize. Teams using the ClearCase Connector typically
schedule synchronization to occur at regular intervals during periods
of reduced Rational ClearCase activity
(nightly, for example). The merge workspace owner monitors synchronization
results in case merges are required or errors reported.
If any
member(s) of the team will be working with Rational ClearCase,
they should be familiar with the restrictions and best practices described
in Considerations for Rational ClearCase users.
