Using the Change Configuration Specification option

Before you begin
When a remote user attempts to execute a configured test case or test suite record and receives a warning message that the config spec for the base Rational ClearCase view is not identical to that for the view that is captured to the iteration, the user can change their base Rational® ClearCase® view to be identical to the captured view.
Note: Use caution when changing a configuration specification for a base Rational ClearCase view. The Change Configuration Specification option is not allowed if the base Rational ClearCase view for which you are changing the config spec has checked-out files.
About this task
To make a base Rational ClearCase view identical to a captured view:
  1. From the client desktop where the view association that conflicts with a captured view was created, open the ClearCase View Associations view. (To do so, from a Rational ClearQuest® Client, click View > ClearCase View Associations, from Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click Windows > Show View > Other > Test Management > ClearCase View Associations.)
  2. Select an entry from the ClearCase View Associations view that you want to change the config spec to be identical to the pinned view.
  3. Click Change Configuration Specification. The Change Configuration Specification windows displays the config spec for the captured view and the conflicting config spec.
  4. Click Finish to accept the config spec for the captured view. This replaces the config spec of the user's view with the config spec of the captured view.
What to do next
After the config spec of your view is replaced with that for the captured view, you can use your updated view association to execute the specific configured test case or test suite record.
