Using the ClearTeam Explorer

You can use the IBM® ClearTeam® Explorer with UCM or base ClearCase®.

Before you begin

Before you can use the ClearTeam Explorer, you must create a ClearCase view. Because UCM and base ClearCase require different types of views, you must choose one or the other before you create the views you will use.

Procedure

To start using the ClearTeam Explorer:
  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 must create a UCM project and the components that it uses. In the case of the base ClearCase development model, the project manager will likely supply a set of version selection rules that are to be added to the view's config spec.
    2. Review additional DevOps Code ClearCase documentation about UCM and base ClearCase.
  2. If you are using UCM, click the join UCM project icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar to connect to start the join UCM project wizard.
    This wizard also creates UCM views.
  3. If you are using base ClearCase, click the create view icon icon on the ClearCase toolbar to start the view creation wizard.
