Associating a ClearCase view

Before you begin

If file locations reference a location in a Rational ClearCase VOB, you must associate a Rational® ClearCase® view to access the test assets. To associate a Rational ClearCase view, you must associate an iteration record with the view.

About this task

To associate a Rational ClearCase view:

Procedure

  1. From an Eclipse desktop, open the ClearCase View Associations view. (To do so, from a Rational ClearQuest® Client, click View > ClearCase View Associations and from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click Windows > Show View > Other > Test Management > ClearCase View Associations.)
  2. Click the New Association icon to open the Associate View with Iteration window.
  3. Click Browse to select a Rational ClearCase view. Click Next.
  4. Select an iteration to associate with the Rational ClearCase view. Note, if at your site other users have associated different Rational ClearCase views for the same iteration to access the same file location, all associations of Rational ClearCase views must use matching config specs. By default, there is no enforcement of matching config specs; it is the responsibility of all users to ensure that this is the case. If a more restrictive environment for associating Rational ClearCase views is required at your site, see Capturing an iteration value for a ClearCase view.
  5. Click Finish.

    The behavior when using a Rational ClearCase Remote Client view is different. Before you associate a file location with the view, right-click the file location and select Connect to CCRC. Specify your ClearCase user ID and password, and the ClearCase server URL. You can now associate your Rational ClearCase Remote Client view with the file location. Each time you restart your Rational ClearQuest Test Manager client you must login to Rational ClearCase by right-clicking the file location and selecting Connect to CCRC before you can perform operations involving test assets stored in Rational ClearCase.

What to do next

When you click Associate Test Script or Associate Test Motivator File, the File Selection window displays a list of file locations that are defined in Rational ClearQuest Test Manager. If you attempt to access a file location that references a VOB location that is not associated with a ClearCase view on your desktop, you are prompted to select one.
