Integrating a full ClearCase client with VS .NET 2003 and 2005

Question & Answer


Question

How can I integrate Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and 2005 using IBM Rational ClearCase version 2003.06.16 (Service Release 6) or version 7.0.x if ClearCase is installed first on a client system?

Answer

PREREQUISITE:



This technote explains how to integrate ClearCase version 2003.06.16 or 7.0.x and VS.NET 2005/2003 if ClearCase is installed before VS .NET 2005/2003 on a client system.

When ClearCase is installed before VS.NET, the ClearCase installation ignores the integration portion as VS.NET has not been installed yet.


INSTRUCTIONS:

ClearCase 2003.06.16 or 7.0 Integration with VS .NET 2005/2003 (click to expand)
  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

  2. Locate the IBM Rational ClearCase program and click the Change option.



  3. When the ClearCase installation Wizard window appears select Next.



  4. You will be prompted to either Modify, Repair, or Remove the application. Select Modify and click Next.



  5. When the Custom Setup window appears, select IBM Rational ClearCase Client for VS .NET. Expand the option and ensure that you select, This feature will be installed on the local hard drive.

    Click Next.



  6. The Ready to Modify Program window will appear, click Install.



  7. After the installation is completed, select Finish.

    Note: You need to restart the system to complete the integration.

  8. After restarting, when you open VS .NET 2005/2003, you will now see the ClearCase option on the Menu Bar at the top of the GUI.
