Using Rational ClearCase views with Rational ClearQuest Test Manager

These topics describe how to use Rational ClearQuest Test Manager with Rational® ClearCase® and Rational ClearCase Remote Client views to access test assets stored in Rational ClearCase VOBs.

When you add a file location for test assets (test scripts and test motivator files), the file location can be in a Rational ClearCase VOB. To access test assets in a Rational ClearCase VOB, a Rational ClearCase or Rational ClearCase Remote Client view must be used on each Rational ClearQuest® Client and Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse desktop.

The Rational ClearQuest Test Manager integration with Rational ClearCase supports the following:

Any externally referenced test asset can be located in a Rational ClearCase VOB.

You can make these VOB locations available in two ways: In either case, a new file location is created in the Test Manager view. After a file location is created, either locally or by a remote user, the file location is available from the Test Manager view for all Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse users.
Every Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse desktop accessing that file location must associate a Rational ClearCase or Rational ClearCase Remote Client view using the Rational ClearCase View Associations view on their desktop. The mechanism for view association depends on whether the file location was created locally or remotely.

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.
