Setting Up ClearCase

The following procedure is an overview of the tasks required to set up a typical ClearCase installation.

Before you can create a Functional Tester project and add it to ClearCase, you must set up ClearCase on a shared server:

  1. Install ClearCase on a shared server. For information, see your ClearCase documentation.

  2. To use the Functional Tester ClearCase integration features, you need to set up ClearCase on a Windows or UNIX Server. For information about setting up a Windows server, see Setting up ClearCase on a Windows Server. For information about setting up a UNIX server, see Setting Up ClearCase on a UNIX Server.

Note: If you set up a ClearCase server and ClearCase client on the same system, you need to do some additional configuration. For information, see the Rational ClearCase Administrator's Guide.

  1. Install ClearCase client or ClearCase LT client on the local system where you installed Functional Tester.

    ClearCase LT comes with Rational Functional Tester and you must install ClearCase LT or ClearCase to use the Functional Tester ClearCase integration.

  2. Create a VOB, if necessary. For information, see the ClearCase Help. You can skip this step if your administrator creates a VOB for you.

  3. Create a view to access your Functional Tester test assets.

    Ask your ClearCase administrator for the options to select when you create a view. You can also find information in the Rational ClearCase Administrator's Guide.

    Create the appropriate view for the ClearCase software that you are using. You can create snapshot views for ClearCase LT, or dynamic and snapshot views for ClearCase.

    1. In the ClearCase Explorer, click the Toolbox tab.

    2. Click Base ClearCase.

    3. Click Create View.

    4. Complete the View Creation Wizard.

    5. Click Finish.
