Disabling the ClearCase UCM and ClearQuest integration

Question & Answer


Question

How do you disable the IBM Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest UCM integration?

Cause

There is a disaster, and the ClearQuest database associated with a UCM Project is no longer available. If there is no backup of the ClearQuest database, then the ClearCase and ClearQuest UCM integration can be disabled.

Answer

Steps to disable the ClearCase UCM / ClearQuest integration:


    1. On Microsoft Windows, launch the ClearCase Project Explorer:
    Start > Programs > Rational ClearCase > Project Explorer

    2. Right click the ClearCase UCM project that needs ClearQuest disabled and select Properties.

    3. Click the ClearQuest tab.

    4. Remove the check mark for Project is ClearQuest-enabled

    5. Click on Ensure All Activities Are Unlinked.

    6. Click OK and the process is complete.


OR

    Force the UCM project to disable the ClearQuest database association from the command line using the following command:


    <Dev_View>\<comp_VOB>\>cleartool chproject -ncr -force
    test_proj3@\test_pvob


    BACKING UP FILES

    Always make new database back-ups of your schema repository and user databases prior to making schema changes and performing database upgrades. Failure to create back-up copies can limit your ability to recover from a an upgrade failure, design change issues or other unforeseen failures.
