Configuration Management Tool

Configuration Management Tool

 

Rational® Statemate® ncludes a Configuration Management (CM) tool with built-in “checkin-checkout” capabilities. However, you might transparently substitute the revision engine and repository format of a third-party configuration management tool. Interface modules are available for the following widely-used, third-party configuration management tools:

Rational® Software® ClearCase®
Note: To use ClearCase as the CM tool, install Rational Clear Case and set it as the Source Code Control (SCC) provider.

Set STM_SCC_CLEARCASE environment variable, and when creating a project, select SCC in the CM Tool field.

On Windows, third-party tools are supported by Source Code Control (SCC), a common interface introduced by Microsoft.

If you want Rational Statemate to work with a different CM tool, an add-on module is available that allows you to create a script-based interface to your CM tool of choice.

Note:  
When using the Rational Statemate interface with a third-party CM tool, you cannot use the Rational Statemate interface to modify or delete Rational Statemate project files. You cannot use the third-party CM tool to check in or check out files from a repository used to hold a Rational Statemate project. You might use the Rational Statemate interface for read-only operations such as viewing, searching, and reporting.
