The CAL (clearcase automation layer) was there in 3.2.1, it's just very
aneamic, and unsupported. If you can't upgrade to 4.0 then you can use the
3.2.1 CAL. As I remember it has a single object ClearTool, with a single
method CmdExec, which as you would guess is equivalent to spawning a
cleartool process. The server is implemented in the ccauto.dll file. Use
oleview or something to generate an .idl file.
If you use it you can avoid the command prompt windows, and you might get a
slight performance increase too.

Hi together!
Is there anyone out there, who wrote a program in Visual C++ or with an
other program, that
uses API calls from ClearCase. The idea is to write a programm that will
call a lot of ClearTool
Shell commands without poping up a lot of "screen destroying" command shell
windows.
Rational Support said that this would be done by an API called CAL in
ClearCase 4.0.
But we are still using ClearCase 3.2.1 on NT.
Thanks
