Working with UCM activities

When you work in a UCM view, you must set the view's current activity to one of the activities in the stream to which the view is bound. You can do this explicitly, by using the ClearCase® UCM Activities view, the My Activities folder in the ClearTeam Navigator, or implicitly, when you select an activity to associate with an operation, such as a checkout, in the view. You can set the view to only one activity at a time, but you may keep multiple undelivered activities in your stream. You can work on one activity, set and work on a different activity, and then set and return to working on the original activity.

The ClearTeam® Explorer includes interfaces for creating new activities, selecting existing activities, and viewing the properties of an activity, such as its change set. The procedures for creating new activities in UCM projects that are enabled for ClearQuest® are different than they are in UCM projects that are not enabled for ClearQuest. The procedures for browsing existing activities are similar in both types of projects.

You can also view and modify Rational® ClearQuest records based on UCM activities and DevOps Code ClearCase actions. For more information, see Viewing a Rational ClearQuest record associated with a UCM activity and Modifying a Rational ClearQuest record associated with a UCM activity.
