How to setup CVI 6.0 with Clearcase?

[kmg]

I've been using Microsoft Visual Source SAfe with CVI before and it was very easy to setup and use. Now I need to convert to Clearcase. My CVI has automaticaly detected Clearcase SCC provider, but then CVI wants me to point to a Clearcase project, and all I have is VOB in Clearcase with no project. Does anybody know how to fix it? I'm using Base Clearcase and I've read a little about UCM Clearcase. Do I need UCM?

Hi,

I don't have any experience with ClearCase myself, however this may help. There are some SCC providers that does not allow for project based brwosing. Basically you check out the files used by the project and the project file; but you can't brwose for the project file and checkout all the files needed automatically.

Just my 2 Cents.

I found the solution myself. CVI wants to be pointed to some .ini file in order to use source control functionality, but as I mentioned above there is no project-ini file in Clearcase, while there is one under Visual Source Safe. Create an empty .ini file anywhere you want and point CVI to this file under Source Code control after you select Clearcase as your SCC provider. Now put you CVI project under Clearcase and you'll be able to check in/out files from CVI.
