The IBM Rational® ClearTeam Explorer™ supports a variety
of team development tasks.
About this task
Working in a team environment with the Rational ClearTeam
Explorer requires that you perform routine tasks such as:
- 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 Rational ClearTeam Explorer 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 Rational ClearTeam Explorer 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 ClearTeam
Navigator and ClearTeam Details view,
and from menus in the menu bar. If you are using the Rational ClearTeam
Explorer for Eclipse, you can also access them from the Eclipse Team context
menu.
Every view
and dialog box in the ClearTeam Explorer provides context-sensitive
Help. To get Help for the ClearTeam Explorer interface that has the
current focus, press the platform-specific help key (such as F1 on
Windows).
