Understanding the DevOps Code ClearCase® integrations with Rational® ClearQuest®

The integrations associate one or more Rational® ClearQuest® user database records with one or more ClearCase® versions, allowing you to use features of both ClearCase® and Rational® ClearQuest®.

In general, you should use the base ClearCase® integration with Rational® ClearQuest® and the UCM integration with Rational® ClearQuest® separately, and avoid using a common Rational® ClearQuest® user database. However, it is possible for both integrations to use the same Rational® ClearQuest® user database. This can be useful if you are moving a project to UCM and have a substantial amount of information in a Rational® ClearQuest® user database that was created with the base ClearCase® integration with Rational® ClearQuest®. You may want the new work in UCM to be reflected in new Rational® ClearQuest® records in the same Rational® ClearQuest® user database.

You should be aware of the considerations in managing the coexistence of the base ClearCase® integration with Rational® ClearQuest® and the UCM integration with Rational® ClearQuest®.
