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

Edit online

Create a new asset and submit it to ClearCase®.

About this task

When submitting or updating an asset, make sure the following conditions have been satisfied:
  • A baseline has been created.

    Baselines are normally created by your UCM project administrator. If the resources in the asset that you want to submit do not exist in the baselines that your stream is configured for ask your UCM project administrator to create one for you.

  • The stream has been rebased to use the baseline above.

    The stream that you are using must be configured to use the baseline that contains the file artifacts of the asset that you want to submit.

  • The UCM snapshot view has been updated and is in pristine condition with respect to the baseline.

    The versions of the file artifacts in your workspace must be the same versions on the baseline. This could include files that are checked out, or that have been checked in since the snapshot view was created.

You begin with a pristine view that contains the artifacts and files that you want to have in your asset. Then you create the asset in the Asset Editor and add content that is under source control.

Procedure

  1. Create a project or navigate to an existing ClearCase project in your workspace and share it with ClearCase. Alternatively, a project existing in ClearCase can also be imported into your workspace.
    You can distinguish ClearCase projects by the blue box decorations on the files and folders.
  2. Select the Eclipse project and create an asset out of the project.
