Rational® ClearCase® Unified Change Management
(UCM) is a source-code management system.
Before you begin
Install an agent that has access to the Rational ClearCase UCM
version object base (VOB) repository.
Procedure
- In IBM® UrbanCode Deploy,
click Components, and then click Create
New Component.
- In the Create New Component window,
specify a name and description for the component.
- In the Teams fields,
specify the access information for the new component.
- To use a template for the new component,
select a template from the Template list. In this case, the component inherits source configuration, properties,
and processes from the template. For information about templates,
see Component templates.
- In the Source Config Type list,
select ClearCaseUCM.
- Specify the following parameters for the component:
- Vob Location
- The location of the VOB repository on the Rational ClearCase server.
- Includes
- A list of file patterns to include in the component. Separate
each pattern with a carriage return.
- Excludes
- A list of file patterns to exclude from the component. Separate
each pattern with a carriage return.
- Snapshot View
- Check this box if the connection is a snapshot view.
- Clear Tool Path
- If the cleartool file is not on the path variable,
type the location of the cleartool executable
file.
- Preserve Execute Permissions
- For Linux and UNIX operating systems, select this check box
to retain the execute permissions for each file.
- Text File Extensions
- If text-type files must be converted into another character set, type the list of
file extensions to be converted. Matching file types are converted into the
default or system character set of the system where the agent is located. Separate list
items with commas, for example:
txt,log,ini,sh
- Import Versions Automatically
- Select this check box to check for new versions periodically and to import new versions
automatically. If you do not import versions automatically, you can import versions
manually by clicking and then clicking Import New Versions.
- Default Version Type
- Specify how to import versions into CodeStation:
- Full
- Each version is comprehensive and contains all artifacts.
- Incremental
- Each version contains a subset of artifacts.
- Use the system's default version import agent/tag
- If this parameter is selected, the agent or tag that you specified in the
System Settings page is used to import component artifacts.
Agents must have access to the system where the artifacts are located. See System settings
- Import new component versions using a single agent
- If this parameter is selected, use the Agent for Version Imports
field to identify the agent that is used to import artifacts into the component. The
agent must have access to the system where the artifacts are located. To import
artifacts from where the server is located, install an agent in the same location
and specify that agent.
- Import new component versions using any agent with the specified tag
- If this parameter is selected, use the Agent Tag for Version Imports
field to identify the tag that is used to select agents to import artifacts into the
component. All tagged agents must have access to the system where the artifacts are
located.
- Inherit Cleanup Settings
- Specify how many component versions to keep in CodeStation, and how long to keep them. If you
select this check box, the component uses the values that are specified on the
System Settings pane. If you clear this check box, the
Days to Keep Versions (initially set to
-1, which means keep indefinitely) and Number of
Versions to Keep (initially set to -1, which means
keep all) fields are displayed, and you can define custom values.
- Run process after creating a new version
- To automatically run a process after each version is created, select this check box and then
specify an application process and an environment for the process.
- Click Save.
Results
The new component is listed on the
Components page. The
Versions tab shows the available versions of the component. If you
selected the
Import Versions Automatically check box, versions are
displayed automatically. Otherwise, click
Import New Versions to show
the available versions. Depending on the number and size of the artifacts, it might take time
before the versions are displayed. To see the artifacts in the component, click a component
version.
What to do next
Create processes for the component. See
Configuring component processes.
