  - Team software development with ClearCase®
    DevOps Code ClearCase® provides configuration management services that make it easy for development teams to work with resources in a shared repository. With the ClearTeam® Explorer, developers can access DevOps Code ClearCase from a variety of network connections, including broadband (WAN) and traditional local area networks (LANs). The ClearTeam Explorer also supports WAN access to Rational® ClearQuest® user databases.

    - ClearCase® Merge Manager
      The DevOps Code ClearCase® Merge Manager is a wizard that manages the process of merging, for one or more elements, a version in a VOB to the version selected by a local ClearCase view. It automates the processes of finding the versions that require a merge, starting a merge, and tracking the progress of a merge. It allows you to suspend and resume merges as needed.

      - Undo Hijack
        Use the Undo Hijack dialog box to replace a hijacked file with the currently selected version from the VOB when using Web views.
      - Create working set
        Create a working set when you want the ClearTeam Navigator view to display only the selected nodes and the resources under those node in the hierarchy. You can set the ClearTeam Navigator to a different working set or back to the Default Working Set at any time.
