Associating a ClearCase view

If file locations reference a location in a Rational ClearCase VOB, you must associate a Rational® ClearCase® view to access the test assets. To associate a Rational ClearCase view, you must associate an iteration record with the view.
To associate a Rational ClearCase view:
  1. From an Eclipse desktop, open the ClearCase View Associations view. (To do so, from a Rational ClearQuest® Client, click View > ClearCase View Associations and from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click Windows > Show View > Other > Test Management > ClearCase View Associations.)
  2. Click the Add Association icon to open the Associate View with Iteration window.
  3. Click Browse to select a Rational ClearCase view. Click Next.
  4. Select an iteration to associate with the Rational ClearCase view. Note, if at your site other users have associated different Rational ClearCase views for the same iteration to access the same file location, all associations of Rational ClearCase views must use matching config specs. By default, there is no enforcement of matching config specs; it is the responsibility of all users to ensure that this is the case. If a more restrictive environment for associating Rational ClearCase views is required at your site, see Capturing an iteration value for a ClearCase view.
  5. Click Finish.
When you click Associate Test Script or Associate Test Motivator File, the File Selection window displays a list of file locations that are defined in Rational ClearQuest Test Manager. If you attempt to access a file location that references a VOB location that is not associated with a ClearCase view on your desktop, you are prompted to select one.
