Working with resources under Rational ClearCase source control

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:

  1. Decide whether to use UCM or base ClearCase:
    1. 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.
    2. Review additional Rational ClearCase documentation about UCM and base ClearCase.
  2. Decide whether to use a Web view or a Dynamic view:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
