Before you begin
From the
Rational® ClearQuest® Client or
the
Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse,
you can use the
Rational ClearQuest View
Associations view to examine Rational ClearCase views that are being used
on a client desktop to access file locations stored in a
Rational ClearCase® VOB.
About this task
To open the
Rational ClearCase View
Association view:
Procedure
- From a Rational ClearQuest Client,
click , from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click .
- The ClearCase View Associations view displays the following information
for each entry: Asset Registry, Iteration, View
Tag, View Path, Association
State, and Connection. (By default the Association
State for all view associations is Free.)
- Select an entry in the Rational ClearCase View Associations view
and then select any of the following options:
- To remove a view association from your desktop click Remove
Association. When a view association is removed for a desktop,
you cannot execute a test script for an iteration associated with it.
- For base Rational ClearCase views,
click Capture Configuration Specification to force all executions for
the associated iteration to use a config spec that is identical to the captured
view. (When a view is captured the Association State is
set to Captured.)
- For UCM views, click Capture Stream Name to force all
executions for the associated iteration to use a stream name that is identical
to the captured view. (When a view is captured, the Association
State is set to Captured.)
- To release a captured view, click Release Configuration Specification or Release
Stream Name. When a captured view is released, there is no longer
checking to determine if any view executing the associated iteration has a
config spec or stream name that is identical to the captured view.
- Click Override Mismatch if you are attempting to execute
using a view whose config spec or stream name does not match the config spec
or stream name of a captured view and you want to override and execute using
your view. Note, use caution when overriding; using a different config spec
or stream name means you might be executing using a different version of test
assets.
- To change the config spec of a view on your desktop to be identical
to the config spec of a captured view, click Change Configuration Specification.
This action is available only when the Association State of
a view association is set to Mismatched and the view
association is a base Rational ClearCase dynamic
view. Note, use caution when changing a config spec because the elements and
versions of elements might be different.
The behavior when using
a Rational ClearCase Remote Client view is
different. Before you associate a file location with the view, right-click
the file location and select Connect to CCRC. Specify
your ClearCase user ID and password, and the ClearCase server URL. You can
now associate your Rational ClearCase Remote Client view
with the file location. Each time you restart your Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager client you must login to Rational ClearCase by
right-clicking the file location and selecting Connect to CCRC before
you can perform operations involving test assets stored in Rational ClearCase.
