Joining a UCM Project

If you do not belong to a UCM project, you can join one from Microsoft® Visual Studio.

The following procedure describes how to join a project and create a snapshot or dynamic view for use when you are connected to a local area network (LAN). If the wide area network (WAN) feature of Rational® ClearCase® is installed, you can also create Web views that allow you to access remote resources. For information on creating Web views to UCM projects, see Joining a UCM Project and Creating UCM Web Views

To join a UCM project:

  1. On the ClearCase menu, click Front Desk.
  2. In the Front Desk toolbar, click Join Project.
  3. Select Dynamic or Snapshot Views, and then click OK.
  4. Follow the prompts in the Join Project Wizard to select a project, create a development stream and view, and create an integration view attached to the project’s integration stream. For each stream, do the following:
    1. Create a snapshot or dynamic view.
    2. For a snapshot view, load the VOB directories you will work with.
    3. If the project is enabled for Rational ClearQuest®, select a database to which you want to link.

    For more information, click the Help button in the wizard.

When you finish and close the Join Project Wizard, Visual Studio adds your new views to the UCM Views list in the Front Desk.
