Setting up the Rational ClearQuest and SourceSafe integration

Once you log on to the Rational ClearQuest SourceSafe tool, you can customize the default settings, options, and queries.

When you log on to the Rational ClearQuest SourceSafe tool, your logon ID is used to associate a schema repository and a Rational® ClearQuest® user database with your SourceSafe project. The default record type of that database is used for your SourceSafe associations.

After you log on, you can make the following customizations:

  1. Setting advanced options

    By default, users can associate defects both when checking files in and checking files out. You can change these defaults.

    1. Click Advanced.
    2. In the Advanced Options window, do one of the following:
      • Set Checkin, Checkout, or both to make associations when these operations occur.
      • Clear Checkin, Checkout, or both to omit the Associations dialog for these operations.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Choosing a query

    You can choose a default query to use when looking for Rational ClearQuest records to associate with SourceSafe project. When associating defects, you can also create your own query or choose a different one.

    1. Click Browse.
    2. In the Select Query window, browse to the query to use.
    3. Use a public query to ensure that all users can use the query.
