Using the Rational ClearQuest Diagnostics utility

Description of ClearQuest Diagnostics utility processing

The Rational ClearQuest Diagnostics utility has a command-line interface that consists of two subcommands: validatedb, which checks the integrity of your schema repository and/or user database, and describe, which displays information about each rule.
