Workflow for finding and setting activities

Figure 1: Workflow for finding and setting activities in a multiple-stream project
In a multiple stream project, the find and set activities task follows set up work areas and rebase your work area. It precedes work on activities.

Figure 2: Workflow for finding and setting activities in a single-stream project
In a single stream project, the find and set activities task follows set up work areas.

After you set up your work areas, find any activities that your project manager or other team members have assigned to you; if necessary, add new ones.

Finding activities

The cleartool lsactivity command and, in DevOps ClearCase® Explorer on Windows® systems, MyActivities show the activities that are assigned to you for the currently selected work area.
Windows tip: To see more about an activity, right-click the activity in MyActivities and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
Windows tip: If your project is enabled for Rational® ClearQuest®, the MyToDoList query in the client for Rational ClearQuest shows activities that are assigned to you for all work areas in the current project.

You can add activities to your work area from Rational ClearQuest (if your project is enabled for Rational ClearQuest) or while checking out, checking in, or adding files to source control.

Setting activities

You must set your view to an activity before you can check out and modify source files. Setting your view to an activity causes any versions of source files that you create to be assigned to the change set associated with the activity.
