You can use UCM or base ClearCase® to
share your work with a team.
Before you begin
Before you can add resources to
DevOps Code ClearCase or work with resources that are under
ClearCase source control, you must create a
ClearCase view. Because UCM and base
ClearCase require different types of views according to
the development policy that is in place, you must choose one before you create the views that you
will use. You will also need to decide on the type of view that best suits your development
environment.
Procedure
To start using the ClearTeam
Explorer for
Eclipse:
- Decide whether to use UCM or base ClearCase:
- Check with your project manager. Before you can use UCM, the project manager or another user
with access to UCM tools on the ClearCase server
must create a UCM project and the components it uses. For base ClearCase, the project manager may specify the version
selection rules that are to be added to the config spec for the view.
- Review additional DevOps Code ClearCase
documentation about UCM and base ClearCase.
- Decide on the type of view:
- Dynamic views require the presence of the ClearCase native (or thick) client and are designed to be
used only on Local Area Networks. Dynamic views are not supported on Wide Area Networks. Dynamic
views must be mounted and started before use.
- Snapshot views also require the ClearCase
native (or thick) client and a LAN connection to load resources from the VOB.
- Web views are a copy-based system that require a connection to the CCRC WAN
server (although a limited amount of operations are still
available when you are disconnected from the server) and may be used in either a WAN or a LAN
environment.
- Like web views, automatic views are a copy-based system that require a connection to the
CCRC WAN
server. They may be used in either a WAN or a LAN
environment.
