Importing assets by using Rational ClearCase Unified Change Management (UCM)

Edit online

When you find an IBM Rational ClearCase® Unified Change Management (UCM) asset and want to modify its contents, import the asset into your workspace.

Before you begin

Before you complete this task, you must have an active Rational ClearCase UCM repository connection.
Draft comment:
LJW: Do you mean "an active repository connection in Rational ClearCase UCM"? Be specific.

Procedure

  1. In the Assets view, right-click the asset and then click Import.

    Import the asset from Rational ClearCase UCM by using the SCM adapter.
    1. Select Import files through SCM.
    2. Specify how to import the content:
      • For the latest content on the branch that the asset was submitted from, select Import latest from current branch.
      • For content that is on another branch, select Import from other existing branches and type the name of the branch.
      Restriction: Although file versions can be in different branches, an asset can have artifacts from only one branch.
    3. Click OK.
  3. In the Select Shared Folder window, click Browse and select a shared folder on the network.
  4. Enable permissions so that other users can access the folder over the network. To share a folder:
    1. Right-click the folder and select Properties.
    2. In the properties window, click the Sharing tab.
    3. Define the share name and then define full control for authenticated users.
  5. Click OK.

Results

The asset is imported into your workspace.

What to do next

LJW: Make sure that I haven’t changed your intended meaning here. The original text was: "Once you have completed any updates to the files submit the asset to the repository and to the UCM integration stream. You must create a new baseline before you can submit the asset."
If necessary, update the files. Then, create a baseline and submit the asset to the repository and the UCM integration stream:
