About enabling a VOB and installing triggers

Using the Rational ClearQuest Integration Configuration tool that is supplied with DevOps Code ClearCase® integrations, a project manager enables a VOB for the base ClearCase integration. With the tool, you can do the following tasks:

This enabling operation installs into the VOB triggers that fire before or after a DevOps Code ClearCase operation. An integration trigger calls the cqcc_launch script which does the following tasks:

On certain DevOps Code ClearCase operations (checkout, checkin, or cancel checkout), the triggers fire and do the following tasks:

The developer associates change requests with the elements that are being accessed by a DevOps Code ClearCase client. When the DevOps Code ClearCase operation completes, the trigger stores associations (change set) in the Rational ClearQuest user database and uses hyperlinks to store matching information (request set) in DevOps Code ClearCase storage. Thereafter, the result set of the Rational ClearQuest record that has associations displays in the ClearCase tab of the client window the names of the elements (the change set) that are associated with the defect (a change request).
