Installing DevOps Code ClearCase-Jenkins plug-ins in an existing Jenkins server

To add the DevOps Code ClearCase®-Jenkins integration to an existing Jenkins server, you must configure the search path and install the plug-ins.

Before you begin

Note: ClearCase supports Jenkins LTS 2.361.4 when run in a 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
You must install the ClearCase Remote Client or DevOps Code ClearCase.
  • On Windows, the system path is updated by the installation of ClearCase Remote Client or DevOps Code ClearCase. After the installation of ClearCase is completed, either reboot the system or restart the Jenkins server.
  • On Linux, after installing ClearCase, you must set the search path for your Jenkins server to include /opt/devops/code/clearcase/bin.
    Note: The procedure to set the search path and restart the Jenkins server depends on how your Jenkins server is installed. For more information, consult with your Jenkins administrator.
