Viewing linked work items and element versions

If a work item and an element have been linked by using the ClearCase Bridge, you can view the work item from the context of the element or view the element version from the context of the work item.

Procedure

  • To view linked work items from a Rational® ClearCase® element (file or folder), right-click the file or folder, and select Open Work Items.
  • To view linked work items from a Rational ClearCase element (file or folder) version, open the History view, right-click the version, and select Open Work Items.
  • To view linked element versions from a work item, open the work item and click the Links tab. On the Links page, all associated versions are listed in the ClearCase Versions section. To open an element version, right-click it, then click Open.
    The element version is displayed in whichever editor is associated with the element type.
    For example, if you select a version of a Java™ file, the file opens in the Java editor.
  • To perform Rational ClearCase operations on a linked element version from within a work item, open the work item's Links page, right-click the Rational ClearCase version and select from the following actions:
    • Compare with predecessor
    • Show Version Tree
    • Show History
