Before deleting activities

Tip: Your project manager determines whether developers can delete Rational® ClearQuest® records of any given record type.

If a Rational® ClearQuest® record is linked with a UCM activity and if the UCM activity contains versions in its change set, you must first delete the UCM activity and then delete the Rational® ClearQuest® activity record. When you delete the linked activity from a DevOps Code ClearCase® client (for example, Project Explorer), the UCM integration with Rational® ClearQuest® performs the following actions:

Removes the link between the UCM activity and the Rational® ClearQuest® record.
Deletes the UCM activity only. (The integration keeps the related Rational® ClearQuest® record.)

As a result of these actions, from Project Explorer, the UCM activity is gone, but its entry is still displayed in another client (for example, DevOps ClearCase® Explorer). The related record still exists in the Rational® ClearQuest® user database and its existence is still reported (for example, in the MyToDoList query output in DevOps ClearCase® Explorer). To completely remove the linked activity, use a Rational® ClearQuest® client to delete the related Rational® ClearQuest® activity record.

The UCM Stream field in the Rational® ClearQuest® Query results pane indicates whether an activity is linked with a stream. The activity Change Set list, which is available from the ClearQuest® Record form pane or from an activity properties sheet, displays its change set.
