You can use UCM or base ClearCase to share your work with
a team.
Before you begin
Before you can add resources to Rational ClearCase or work
with resources that are under ClearCase source control, you must create
a ClearCase view. Because UCM and base ClearCase require different
types of views, you must choose one before you create the views that
you will use. You will also need to decide whether to create a Dynamic
view or a Web view.
Procedure
To start using the Rational ClearTeam Explorer for Eclipse:
- Decide whether to use UCM or base ClearCase:
- Check with your project manager. Before you can use
UCM, the project manager or another user with access to UCM tools
on the ClearCase server must create a UCM project and the components
it uses.
- Review additional Rational ClearCase documentation about
UCM and base ClearCase.
- Decide whether to use a Web view or a Dynamic view:
- Dynamic views require the presence of the ClearCase
native (or thick) client and are designed to be used only on Local
Area Networks. Dynamic views are not supported on Wide Area Networks.
Dynamic views must be mounted and started before use.
- Web views are a copy-based system that require a connection
to the CCRC WAN server (although a limited amount of operations are
still available when you are disconnected from the server) and may
be used in either a WAN or a LAN environment.
