Make changes to the fields of a Rational ClearQuest record associated
with a ClearCase UCM activity.
Before you begin
You must be connected to a Rational ClearCase server to view the properties
of a UCM activity. In a UCM project that is enabled for Rational ClearQuest,
you must also be logged in to the Rational ClearQuest database that holds
the activity.
About this task
To modify a ClearQuest record:
- In the ClearCase Remote Client Navigator, connect to a ClearQuest
database through the ClearQuest node under a server
machine name. Log in to the server if you are not already connected to it.
- Navigate to a ClearQuest query and click on it to run it. The query results set appears in the ClearCase Details view.
- Right-click on a query results set row and select Show
ClearQuest record from the context menu. The
ClearQuest record appears in the ClearQuest Details view.
- Click the Modify icon
before editing the record.
- Edit the fields of the record, or change its state by click the
Change State option list icon
and selecting a different state. You
can also delete the record, if your schema supports this operation, by clicking
the Utility icon
and selecting Delete.
- After editing the record, click the Commit icon
to save your changes or click the Revert icon
to abandon them.
Results
To automatically modify a Rational ClearQuest record associated
with a UCM activity, your Rational ClearQuest policies must be configured
to automatically transition Rational ClearQuest records based on ClearCase
actions. For example, if you check out a file in a UCM project that is configured
to work with Rational ClearQuest and you select an existing ClearCase UCM
activity to associate with the checkout, Rational ClearQuest will automatically
transition the record as appropriate if the transition does not require further
information. If more information from you is required, the ClearQuest record
opens and the fields requiring information are highlighted.
The following
Rational ClearCase UCM actions can automatically transition ClearQuest records:
- Add to source control
- Check in
- Check out
- Rename, move, or delete an element under ClearCase source control
- Deliver
- Finish activity
- Using the ClearCase Merge Manager,
which implicitly checks out and checks in files as part of merging
