Compatibility Information

• ClearCase is Integrated with SoftBench

The integration of Softbench with Clearcase provides SoftBench users a familiar interface

to ClearCase’s most important version control and conﬁguration management functions.

You can also conﬁgure the SoftBench Builder to use clearmake, the ClearCase build tool.

All other SoftBench tools work within the ClearCase environment by using view-extended

pathnames. For more information on the SoftBench and ClearCase integration, please

refer to Rational’s ClearCase Reference Manual - Release 3.0 and later, and Rational’s

ClearCase User’s Manual - Release 3.0 and later.

To set up for using ClearCase with SoftBench:

1. Verify whether the ClearCase installation is complete.

2. Verify whether the installation of SoftBench 6.x is complete.

3. By default, the SoftBench Builder Program (invoked with the Build or Rebuild

selection on the Action menu) runs make(1). You can have it run clearmake by

setting the following X resource in your .Xdefaults ﬁle (typically, in your home

directory):

SoftBench*projBuildProgram: clearmake

After this, update the X resource database using xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults

4. Make ClearCase your default conﬁguration management system as follows:

a. Start SoftBench.

b. In the softbench main window choose, Options: Tool Preferences.

c. In the Tool Preferences dialog box, select Conﬁguration Manager under Select a

Tool.

d. Select ClearCase under Available Tools, and Click OK.
