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.
