To install DevOps Code ClearCase integration

About this task

To set up the DevOps Code ClearCase® integration on your UNIX system or Linux workstation, use the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command:
    ccfdevinstall
    This command runs a script that performs the installation automatically.
  2. Then, open Forte Developer by entering the following command:
    workshop
  3. Check that the DevOps Code ClearCase integration is installed by verifying that the commands and tools for the DevOps Code ClearCase integration appear under the Tools menu in Workshop.

Results

If the install script does not work, the following list provides troubleshooting information that you or your system administrator can check.

  • The path needs to specify CLEARCASEHOME/bin.

    You may need to verify where this folder is located and add it to the path. When DevOps Code ClearCase is initially installed, either the /opt/devops/clearcase/bin folder or a value called CLEARCASEHOME is set up. To verify the folder location, type one of the following commands:

    echo $CLEARCASEHOME
    which xclearcase

    Then change the path to include the required folder. If you do not know where Forte Developer is installed, enter the following command:

    pkginfo SPROws

    If you can run Forte Developer's Workshop, the location should be in your path by typing the following command:

    which workshop
  • Write permission for the SUNWspro/lib/locale/C/pwi_config directory

    If the install script claims that you cannot make changes to the SUNWspro/lib/locale/C/pwi_config directory, you cannot perform any changes in Forte Developer's Workshop. You must have permission to write to this directory. To add permissions, try logging in to the system as root or changing the directory write access to include you as a user. You can also try to use similar methods for granting write privileges.

  • Installations on network-installed versions of Forte Developer

    If DevOps Code ClearCase Integration is installed on a version of Forte Developer that is network installed (as opposed to locally installed), the installation will affect all users who have files in DevOps Code ClearCase VOBs.

  • Cannot check out a file

    If you cannot check out a file or the system displays an error message (for example, Not an object in a VOB), it may be that the files are not stored in a DevOps Code ClearCase VOB. A VOB is the database that stores your project files. To learn how to create a VOB and view a VOB, check the support page on the DevOps Code ClearCase help and online documentation.
