Requirements for using the ClearQuest API

To use the ClearQuest API, you must have a licensed version of IBM Rational ClearQuest installed.
The Rational ClearQuest Perl API is implemented as a Perl package (CQPerlExt). You can use this API to write code that runs within Rational ClearQuest (hook code), or that runs independently of an instance of the Rational ClearQuest application. You can also use the API to create an integration with a new or an existing application (service, tool, or utility) and the Rational ClearQuest application. External applications that run outside of Rational ClearQuest View or modify the data Rational ClearQuest stores in the user database and schema repository. Integrations with an application and Rational ClearQuest integrate the functionality of a service, tool, or utility with the capability to view or modify the data Rational ClearQuest stores in the user database and schema repository.
