Tool Mentor: Creating an Integration and Building Workspace Using Rational ClearCase
Purpose
This tool mentor describes how to create an integration and build workspace using Rational ClearCase.
This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.
Overview
The notion of an integration workspace is similar to the implementers' "private workspace", where individuals can develop and change code in a contained area. The integration workspace is where software integrators verify that separately developed and tested components can be built and work together as a product.
This tool mentor is applicable when running Microsoft Windows.
Tool Steps
To create an integration and build workspace using ClearCase:
- From the Windows task bar, go to the View Creation Wizard by clicking Start > Programs > Rational Software > Rational ClearCase > Create View.
- Use the View Creation Wizard to create a workspace (ClearCase view)
and configure it to select the promoted development changes. You are asked
to provide information for:
- view name
- view location
- other information depending on your site's configuration (the View Creation Wizard takes you through the required steps)
Consult the
online help available from the View Creation Wizard for detailed information
on creating a view.
General information
on ClearCase views, including configuration information, is available in the
ClearCase manual Developing Software.
