ClearCase preferences

If you use ClearCase® for source control management, you can use the ClearCase® Preferences page to define settings for Rational® Functional Tester integration, show ClearCase® icons, show script details, save file with _keep extension, check out a file reserved, or to keep a script checked out after check in.

Use the ClearCase® Preferences page to define settings for ClearCase® if you use the integration with Rational® Functional Tester. The page contains the following controls:

Enable integration with ClearCase
Turns ClearCase® on or off for the specific user profile. When you click to clear this setting, ClearCase® menu items are unavailable. The default setting is Enable integration with ClearCase.
Show decorations
Displays the ClearCase® icons that indicate the state of a ClearCase® element in the Projects view. When you click to clear this setting, ClearCase® icons do not display in the Projects view. The default setting is Show decorations.
Show script details
Displays the State, Filename, and Path for the script in the Check in, Check out, Add to ClearCase®, Update, and Undo Checkout dialog boxes.
Save to file with _keep extension before undo check out
When selected, preserves the contents of the checked-out version of the script under the file name script-name_keep.xxx.
Check Out reserved

Keep script checked out after check in
Saves the new version of the script and keeps it checked out.
