How exports are mapped to VOBs and UCM components

Rational Team Concert™ source control components are automatically mapped to VOBs and UCM components on export.
When you export a file or folder from Rational Team Concert source control, it is added to a VOB or UCM component whose name matches the name of the Rational Team Concert source control component where it originated.
Important: The VOB to which the exported files and folders are to be added cannot be created by the synchronization process. It must exist before synchronization begins.

Exporting to UCM

When files in a Rational Team Concert source control component are selected to be in a synchronized stream defined by a UCM stream, the following rules govern how Rational Team Concert source control components are mapped to UCM components:
  1. If there is a UCM component that has the same name as the Rational Team Concert source control component, it becomes the target of the export
  2. If no such UCM component exists, the synchronization process attempts to create one in a PVOB whose tag matches the value of the PVOB_TAG property in the ClearCase Provider Properties of the synchronized stream. The root directory of the component is created in a VOB whose tag matches the value of the COMPONENT_VOB_TAG property in the ClearCase Provider Properties of the synchronized stream.
  3. If the PVOB_TAG or COMPONENT_VOB_TAG properties are not set, or if no such PVOB or VOB exists, the export fails.

Exporting to base Rational ClearCase

When files in a Rational Team Concert source control component are selected to be in a synchronized stream defined by a Rational® ClearCase® branch type and label type, the following rules govern how exported components are mapped to VOB folders:
  1. If a VOB that has the same name as the Rational Team Concert source control component where the export originated is mounted, it becomes the target of the export.
  2. If no such VOB is mounted, the export fails. Either of the following actions can correct the problem:
    • Rename the Rational Team Concert source control component to match the tag of a mounted VOB
    • Create a new VOB that has the appropriate name (tag) and mount it
Restriction: If you previously exported files and folders to a UCM component that has the same name as the Jazz source control component, that Jazz source control component is already associated with that UCM component, and you cannot export to a VOB with the same name.
