This release introduces an enhanced Rational ClearQuest Designer
based on Eclipse technology.
The new ClearQuest Designer provides the capabilities of the original Designer
along with the following major enhancements:
- The ability to view and modify multiple repositories and schemas at the
same time. You can create and edit a working set of schemas by selecting them
from a drop down menu and you can then work on the schemas in the working
set as a group. For example, you can drag and drop a record types between
schemas.
- A multi-tabbed editor for record types. The new editor makes
it easier to find all information about the record type that you are editing.
- The ability to use a variety of text editors to edit scripts and hooks.
For example, schema developers can use the EPIC Perl IDE, which provides features
such as syntax highlighting and error checking with Eclipse Error View integration.
- A generic History View that displays the history of all schema revisions.
- The ability to make a structural comparison of schema versions.
- A filtering mechanism to filter out unwanted schema elements from the
workspace.
