Re: Anybody using Rational Clearcase?

Hi,

We've been using Sourcesafe for years and want to move away from it because
it has long been abandoned. ClearCase was a natural choice because it is
used heavily elsewhere in our company, and there are administrators
available to help. We spent quite a bit of time planning and testing all
aspects of it, and everything was looking good for the switch.

Until we tested Toad with it. Individual testing went well and was looking
promising, but when we set up two testers, things began to fall apart. The
problem we had is with Team Coding. Code control groups have to point to
the folder where the source is located. With Sourcesafe, that location is
on the server, but with ClearCase, it is a local snapshot (dynamic views
totally do not work, snapshot view was the only hope). The setting is
global, so if set to my folder, it won’t work for anyone else because they
are, obviously, not connected to my PC.

We gave it a good try, and this was even after Quest support telling us
that ClearCase is not supported. So here we are still with Sourcesafe, and
Toad is the only reason.

Hello,


Does anybody use IBM Rational ClearCase for source control. I’ve started
working with it recently, and would appreciate any real world perspective.





Thanks in advance
