We're just starting to use Siebel here and, at least with our version of
it, it comes with a source code-control integration option. This is
enabled via the tools-options menu (or something like that) and there's a
checkbox that you select. You need to modify a DOS batch file to perform
ClearCase-specific actions to check out/in a project archive. It's pretty
well described in the documentation, but the workflow in brief goes like
this:
- Developer locks a project in Siebel repository
- Developer makes mods
- Developer "checks in" (Siebel side) to repository
- The Siebel check-in initiates a project export where a SIF file is
generated and checked into your ClearCase project
To get an old version back:
- Lock project in repository
- Checkout/get project archive from ClearCase, overwriting local copy
- Check project into Siebel repository
The one caveat to using ClearCase is that, although you CAN manage
versions of each project, the method of deployment for Siebel is to use
their devtoprod.ksh script which actually copies both the database schema
and the Siebel SRF repository file into a given environment. Schema
modifications cannot easily be managed by ClearCase, nor can EIM
(data) file changes. I don't know all I don't know about this, but that
might help a bit
