ClearCase Patch Disables UCM ClearCase-ClearQuest Integration

A defect in patch clearcase_p4.1.NT-28 causes the UCM ClearCase-ClearQuest integration to become disabled when the patch is installed. Attempts to perform any ClearCase operation affected by the integration (checkout, for example) in a UCM-enabled project result in a message of the form:

Unable to perform this operation in a clearquest enabled context. Clearquest is not installed.

Rational is developing a new patch that will fix this defect, which is logged as defect CMBU00061657. Until the patch is available, we recommend that all sites that have installed clearcase_p4.1.NT-28 and also use the UCM ClearCase-ClearQuest integration take the following steps immediately:

  1. Remove clearcase_p4.1.NT-28 from the release area. Go to the patch directory within the release area, and then run the backout.exe program in that directory. For example:

    cd p:\clearcase_4.1\patches\clearcase_p4.1.NT-28
    backout.exe

  2. Uninstall ClearCase on any client hosts that have been installed from the patched release area, then reinstall the client hosts from the release area after you complete Step 1.
