Updates in version 7.1.1
In the Rational
ClearCase version 7.1.1, the following capabilities have been introduced.
- Support for external, 3rd-party Compare/Merge Providers
- The 7.1.1 release includes support for using 3rd-party Compare/Merge
Providers and for running preprocessing scripts or applications before
a Compare/Merge operation. These features can be specified on the
new Compare/Merge Providers Preferences page. For more information,
see the Compare/Merge Providers preferences topic.
- Mylyn task integration
- If you are using Base ClearCase in Eclipse and you have the Mylyn
Tasktop product installed, the ClearCase Remote Client now recognizes
Mylyn tasks. For more information, see Mylyn task integration.
- New support for transactional checkins
- A new option, Commit changes in one transaction per
VOB, has been added to the Checkin dialog
box allowing users to specify that the checkin operation takes place
in a single, bulk transaction, which improves performance. If any
of the resources being checked in fails for any reason, the entire
checkin fails. For more information, see the description of this option
in the Check in topic.

on the new Compare/Merge Providers Preferences
page.

default value of the new Commit changes in one transaction
per VOB option in the Checkin dialog box.
- Rebase and Deliver preferences: Users can now
specify that new baselines be recommended after a default delivery
operation. Users can also specify that they receive a prompt before
CCRC creates new baselines following a default delivery.
- ClearCase Explorer preferences: Users can now
specify that branch type mastership is requested if a Check
In, Check Out, or Add
To Source Control operation fails because a branch is
mastered remotely when using ClearCase MultiSite. Users can also specify
they receive a prompt before a Disconnect operation.
- Enhanced search capabilities
- Users can now perform search operations across multiple directories
and across multiple views.
- Enhanced Version Tree capabilities
A new option, Request Mastership, has been added to the Version
Tree context menu so that ClearCase MultiSite users can now right-click
on a branch in the Version Tree that is mastered remotely and request
mastership for that branch. For more information, see Request Mastership
Users can now select
multiple versions of a resource in the Merge Version Tree.
- Enhanced Merge capability
Users can now rename a new element during a merge
operation when there is a name conflict. For more information, see Rename.
