ClearCase

Description

IBM Rational ClearCase is a software configuration management solution that provides version control, workspace management, parallel development support, and build auditing. The command executed on the server to check out source code is: $cleartool $view_root_path $view $vob_root_path.

For more details, refer to http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/clearcase.

Note

The ClearCase tool is configured for Linux by default. It is possible to make it work for Windows by editing the configuration file

Usage

ClearCase has the following options:

  • View root path (view_root_path, mandatory, default: /view) Specify the absolute path of the ClearCase view.

  • Vob Root Path (vob_root_path, mandatory, default: /projets) Specify the absolute path of the ClearCase vob.

  • View (view) Specify the label of the view to analyse sources from. If no view is specified, the current ClearCase view will be used automatically, as retrieved by the command cleartool pwv -s.

  • Server Display View (server_display_view) When viewing source code from the Explorer after building the project, this parameter is used instead of the view parameter specified earlier. Leave this field empty to use the same value as for view.

  • Sources Path (sub_path) Specify a path in the view to restrict the scope of the source code to analyse. The value of this field must not contain the vob nor the view. Leave this field empty to analyse the code in the entire view. This parameter is only necessary if you want to restrict to a directory lower than root.

The full command line syntax for ClearCase is:

-r "type=ClearCase,view_root_path=[text],vob_root_path=[text],view=[text],server_display_view=[text],sub_path=[text]"
