Setting up ClearCase

If you use ClearCase® for source control management, you need to do some preliminary tasks to set up a typical ClearCase® installation.

Before you begin

Before you can create a Rational® Functional Tester project and add it to ClearCase®, you must set up ClearCase® on a shared server.

Procedure

  1. Install ClearCase® on a shared server. For information, see your ClearCase® documentation.
  2. Set up ClearCase® on a Windows® or UNIX® Server to use the Rational® Functional Tester ClearCase® integration features.

    For information about setting up a Windows® server, see Setting up ClearCase on a Windows Server. For information about setting up a UNIX® server, see Setting Up ClearCase on a UNIX Server.

    Note:

    If you set up a ClearCase® server and ClearCase® client on the same system, you need to do some additional configuration. For information, see the Rational® ClearCase® Administrator's Guide

  3. Install ClearCase® client on the local system where you installed Rational® Functional Tester.
  4. Create a VOB, if necessary. For information, see the ClearCase® Help.

    You can skip this step if your administrator creates a VOB for you.

  5. Create a view to access your test assets.

    Ask your ClearCase® administrator for the options to select when you create a view. You can also find information in the Rational® ClearCase® Administrator's Guide.

    Create the appropriate view for the ClearCase® software that you are using. You can create dynamic and snapshot views for ClearCase®.

    1. In the ClearCase® Explorer, click the Toolbox tab.
    2. Click Base ClearCase.
    3. Click Create View.
    4. Complete the View Creation Wizard.
    5. Click Finish.
