Title: EA and Clearcase integration
Post by: ef on May 03, 2008, 03:24:02 am

I'm evaluating EA for my team (long time RoseRT + Clearcase users). Does anyone know if there is an app note or info that describes how to use EA with Clearcase? I've found nothing in the website and did not found basic instruction on this forum either. Any suggestions?

It appears the suggested method for team colaboration is some kind of database system, but our company uses Clearcase/UCM. It is not clear to me how the model is broken up into model fragments that are individually versioned (xml files I assume).

Thanks a million!

Ok, the answer is devided to several parts:
1) Check if CC has SCC client, EA comunicates with SCC. If not you can always work manualy, export the packages to XMI and checkthem in in CC.
2) Regarding colavoration of larg projects: we use DB for colaborating, having all the system in and all users with access to the DB. Even though we still use configuration control (VSS in our case) for versioning.
3) Regarding the breaking up we devide the work the actual technical componenet of our software, so when we checkin\out XMIs each groups works on its own part.

I understand ClearCase does offer SCC compliance.  We have had other users using ClearCase but set to work in SCC mode.  How that is set you would nned to check with the ClearCase documentation.
