Using Rational ClearQuest with CrossPlatformSCM

This topic describes the CrossPlatformSCM package as a whole.

The CrossPlatformSCM package is a package that is installed with Rational® ClearQuest®, version 2003.06.14 or higher. The package lets you use Rational ClearQuest as a single point of control for running coordinated build and promote operations across the SCLM and Rational ClearCase® code libraries.

For example, if you are developing mixed applications with COBOL components stored in SCLM and distributed Java™ components stored in Rational ClearCase, you can use the CrossPlatformSCM package with Rational ClearQuest to run coordinated builds and promote operations on both sets of components. If you have a multi-level group hierarchy, you can use the same build record to promote a build through multiple groups.

You can also use the CrossPlatformSCM package to coordinate builds across several SCLM projects at once, even if the projects are located on different servers. Finally, you can connect SCLM with a flexible tracking system to control your software promotion process together with a problem and feature-tracking process.

Users who use only Rational ClearCase can use the CrossPlatformSCM package to synchronize builds and controls of different Rational ClearCase views and projects, enabling them to track builds and deliver operations in a UCM Rational ClearCase project, along with change requests.
