To work online with Rational ClearCase from within WebSphere Studio, select the ClearCase > Connect to Rational
ClearCase menu option or click the ClearCase Connect to Rational ClearCase
icon .
This option is active when you start WebSphere Studio. After you select this option it becomes inactive and remains that way for the duration of your WebSphere Studio session.
Note: You must choose this option before other ClearCase menu options can become available. The availability of other ClearCase menu options then varies according to your current selection within WebSphere Studio.
