The ClearCase Remote Client supports a variety of team development
tasks.
About this task
Working in a team environment with the ClearCase Remote Client
requires that you perform routine tasks such as:
- Connecting to a Rational ClearCase server and creating ClearCase views
- Populating ClearCase views by loading them with resources from ClearCase
repositories or by creating resources locally and adding them to ClearCase
source control.
- Modifying resources in ClearCase views
- Committing your modified resources to the repositories so that they can
be shared with your team
The ClearCase Remote Client provides access to Rational
ClearQuest user databases, which allows you to perform the following tasks:
- Connecting to a Rational ClearQuest user database
- Running ClearQuest queries.
- Viewing and editing ClearQuest records.
If your team uses the Rational ClearCase UCM integration with Rational
ClearQuest, you can also connect UCM activities to ClearQuest records, create
ClearQuest records, and automatically transition the states of the ClearQuest
records.
In addition, you might occasionally need to configure the ClearCase
Remote Client to suit personal preferences, upgrade it to a newer version,
or perform other maintenance tasks.
All tools and dialog boxes described
in this section are available on ClearCase toolbars, from context menus in the ClearCase Navigator and ClearCase
Details view, and from menus in the menu bar. If you are using
the Rational ClearCase Remote Client for Eclipse, you can also access them
from the Eclipse Team context menu.
Every view
and dialog box in the ClearCase® Remote Client provides
context-sensitive Help. To get Help for the ClearCase Remote
Client interface that has the current focus, press the platform-specific
help key (such as F1 on Windows).
