DevOps Code ClearCase® CM API introduction

The IBM® DevOps CCRC WAN server API is a unified Java API through which you can access DevOps Code ClearCase®. The ClearCase® CM server API extends the WVCM (Workspace Versioning and Configuration Management) API, which is a standard Java API for configuration management (see https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=147).

Note: For users on the UNIX platforms, first see Features not supported on the Core ClearCase UNIX platforms.
You can use the ClearCase® CM API to build client applications that access DevOps Code ClearCase® and to build new integrations. The client application can be an Eclipse plugin or other Java client application. For example, you can use the API to build client applications that:
  • Perform ClearCase® checkout and checkin operations from your Java application.
  • Browse the contents of a ClearCase® web view or dynamic view on your local machine (snapshot views are not supported).
  • Create and modify ClearCase® UCM objects, such as activities and streams.
