Dependent integrations

Dependent integrations require adding one or more packages in a specific order and might require additional configuration to ClearQuest®. The installation process is different for each dependent integration.

You can perform the following dependent integrations. See Adding dependent integrations for more information.

IBM Rational Administrator and Rational ClearQuest
Associates Rational projects with Rational ClearQuest databases. See Adding a Rational Administrator integration for more information.
IBM Rational Project Tracker and Rational ClearQuest
Lets you exchange project data between the two systems. See Adding a Rational Project Tracker integration for more information.
IBM Rational RequisitePro® and Rational ClearQuest
Associates RequisitePro requirements with ClearQuest records.
IBM Rational TeamTest and Rational ClearQuest
Lets you submit defects found through TeamTest to ClearQuest databases and track the defects. See Adding a Rational TeamTest integration for more information.
IBM Rational ClearCase Unified Change Management (UCM) and Rational ClearQuest
Links ClearCase® UCM projects and activities to ClearQuest records. See Adding a Rational ClearCase UCM integration for more information.
Microsoft® Visual SourceSafe and Rational ClearQuest
Associates Visual SourceSafe information with ClearQuest records. See Adding a Microsoft Visual SourceSafe integration for more information.

Example

The following example shows how a code page mismatch can prevent an integration between ClearQuest and Rational Administrator from functioning correctly.

ClearQuest is installed on a computer with the 1252 operating system code page and the ClearQuest data code page value for the database set is also 1252.

The Rational Administrator client is installed on a computer with the 936 (Japanese) operating system code page.

A user creates a Rational Administrator project, and because she is working on a computer with a 936 code page, the project name includes Japanese characters. She then attempts to associate the new Rational Administrator project with a ClearQuest database. The attempt fails because the Japanese characters in the Rational Administrator project name are not from the 1252 code page, which is the data code page value of the ClearQuest database set.
