Before you begin
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.
About this task
To associate a
Rational ClearCase view:
Procedure
- From an Eclipse desktop, open the ClearCase View Associations view.
(To do so, from a Rational ClearQuest® Client,
click and from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click .)
- Click the New Association icon to open the
Associate View with Iteration window.
- Click Browse to select a Rational ClearCase view.
Click Next.
- 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.
- Click Finish.
The behavior
when using a Rational ClearCase Remote Client view
is different. Before you associate a file location with the view, right-click
the file location and select Connect to CCRC. Specify
your ClearCase user ID and password, and the ClearCase server URL. You can
now associate your Rational ClearCase Remote Client view
with the file location. Each time you restart your Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager client you must login to Rational ClearCase by
right-clicking the file location and selecting Connect to CCRC before
you can perform operations involving test assets stored in Rational ClearCase.
What to do next
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.
