Capturing an iteration value for a ClearCase view

Before you begin
To ensure that all other Rational ClearQuest Client and Rational® ClearQuest® Client for Eclipse users must use an identical Rational ClearCase® view to access a file location when executing a configured test case or test suite record for a specific iteration, the administrator can capture an iteration to their view association.

When a specific iteration is captured to a Rational ClearCase view association, Rational ClearQuest Test Manager compares the config spec for base Rational ClearCase and stream name for all Rational ClearCase UCM views associated with the same iteration value when executing test scripts at the same file location.

About this task
To capture an iteration:
  1. 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 Window > Show View > Other to open the Show View window. Expand the Test Management folder and select ClearCase View Associations.)
  2. Select an entry to capture to the Rational ClearCase view's associated iteration value.
  3. Click Capture Configuration Specification for a base Rational ClearCase view and Capture Stream Name for a UCM Rational ClearCase view. The selected Rational ClearCase view is captured for the associated Iteration. If you need to release the view, select the Rational ClearCase view association and click Release Configuration Specification or Release Stream Name.
What to do next
After a Rational ClearCase view is captured to an iteration, when any user executes the associated test script, Rational ClearQuest Test Manager compares the config spec or stream name of the captured view with any other Rational ClearCase views used to access the same file location. If any Rational ClearCase view used by another client is not identical to the captured view, the remote user receives a warning message indicating that their Rational ClearCase view is not identical to the captured view.
