Some Rational ClearQuest integrations are independent integrations that require adding only the appropriate package. Other integrations are dependent integrations that require adding one or more packages in a specific order and may also require additional configurations to Rational ClearQuest.
It is important to note that not all ClearQuest integrations can be applied to the Web Client; therefore, fields, forms, reports, scripts and other functionality added to the Rational ClearQuest Client for Windows® or the UNIX® system and Linux® by an integration package may not be available through the Web Client. Examples of integrations that do work with the Web client include UCM and Requisite® Pro.
The following integrations are independent integrations. Note that you can use the same installation process for all independent integrations. For more information on independent integrations, see Adding independent integrations .
Associates one or more Rational ClearQuest change requests with one or more Rational ClearCase versions.
Allows you to submit code coverage data to a Rational ClearQuest database and track it.
Allows you to submit data to a Rational ClearQuest database and track it.
Allows you to submit performance data to a Rational ClearQuest database and track it.
Enables Rational ClearQuest to communicate with users through their e-mail systems.
An e-mail system integration involves configuring IBM E-Mail Reader and adding the e-mail notification package.
The following integrations are dependent integrations. For more information about dependent integrations, see Adding independent integrations .
Associates IBM projects with Rational ClearQuest databases. See Adding an IBM Administration integration for more information.
Allows you to exchange project data between the two systems. See Adding an IBM Rational ClearQuest Project Tracker integration for more information.
Associates RequisitePro requirements with Rational ClearQuest records.
For information on how to add a RequisitePro/Rational ClearQuest integration, see the installation guides for IBM Rational Desktop Products and for IBM Rational Server Products.
Allows you to submit defects found through TeamTest to Rational ClearQuest databases, and to track them. See Adding an IBM TeamTest integration for more information.
Links Rational ClearCase UCM projects and activities to Rational ClearQuest records. See Adding an IBM UCM integration for more information.
Associates Visual SourceSafe information with Rational ClearQuest records. See Adding a Microsoft Visual SourceSafe integration for more information.
Because all data in a ClearQuest database must be from the same code page, there are several things you need to keep in mind with ClearQuest integrations:
The following example shows how a code page mismatch can prevent an integration between ClearQuest and Rational Administrator from functioning correctly.
Rational ClearQuest is installed on a machine 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 machine with the 936 (Japanese) operating system code page.
A user creates a Rational Administrator project, and because she is working on a machine 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.
Some packages enable existing record types in a schema. At the time you install such packages, you have the option of selecting which record types you want to be enabled by the package. If you add a new record type after adding the package, you can also enable the new record type with the package functionality.
For a list of packages and the record types they modify, see ClearQuest integration packages .
