What the integration does

The base ClearCase® integration with Rational® ClearQuest® associates one or more Rational ClearQuest change requests with one or more DevOps Code ClearCase versions.

A single change request may be associated with multiple versions. The set of versions that implement the requested change is called the change set for that request.A single version may be associated with multiple change requests. These change requests are called the request set for that version.

The base ClearCase integration with Rational ClearQuest has the following roles:
  • As a DevOps Code ClearCase project manager, you specify the conditions under which developers are prompted to associate DevOps Code ClearCase versions with Rational ClearQuest change requests. You can specify VOBs, branches, and element types for which developers can or must associate change requests.
  • As a Rational ClearQuest schema designer, you add DevOps Code ClearCase definitions to a Rational ClearQuest schema. These definitions enable change requests in databases that use the schema to contain and display associated change sets.
  • As a DevOps Code ClearCase developer, you can:
    • Associate a version with one or more change requests at the time you check in or check out the version.
    • View the change set for a request.
    • Submit queries to identify the change requests that are associated with a project over a period of time.

You can use the Rational ClearQuest Integration Query interface on a Windows® system to search for associations.
