Customizing the integration

To understand how the overall trigger works or how to customize its behavior, review the TriggerCQCC.pm class and its methods. Most changes in the visible behavior of the trigger require changes in this class.

Tip: For internal documentation, contact IBM Software Support for Rational products.

If you make local changes, use the following procedure:

  1. Make a copy of the MyTrigger.pm template class.
  2. Rename the copy.
  3. Make your changes in the renamed file by overriding or extending the TriggerCQCC methods (see MyTrigger.pm for more details).
Tip: Do not make changes directly to the TriggerCQCC source code.

Following this procedure facilitates upgrading to later releases of TriggerCQCC.pm from DevOps Code ClearCase® and provides a fallback to the released trigger for working with IBM Software Support for Rational products.
