Using the ClearTeam® Explorer

You can use the IBM® ClearTeam® Explorer with UCM or base ClearCase®.

Before you begin

Before you can use the ClearTeam® Explorer, you must create a ClearCase® view. Because UCM and base ClearCase® require different types of views, you must choose one or the other before you create the views you will use.

Procedure

To start using the ClearTeam® Explorer:
  1. Decide whether to use UCM or base ClearCase®:
    1. Check with your project manager. Before you can use UCM, the project manager or another user with access to UCM tools must create a UCM project and the components that it uses. In the case of the base ClearCase® development model, the project manager will likely supply a set of version selection rules that are to be added to the view's config spec.
    2. Review additional DevOps Code ClearCase® documentation about UCM and base ClearCase®.
  2. If you are using UCM, click the join UCM project icon icon on the ClearCase® toolbar to connect to start the join UCM project wizard.
    This wizard also creates UCM views.
  3. If you are using base ClearCase®, click the create view icon icon on the ClearCase® toolbar to start the view creation wizard.
