Question & Answer
Question
How do you check if a full username exists in the IBM Rational ClearQuest Users list using the ClearQuest API?
Cause
You would like to implement a custom process where no two user full names should be the same.
Answer
The Perl Script below uses the ClearQuest API and can be run on Windows.
Note: The ClearQuest Native Client must be installed on this machine.
This script iterates through all the ClearQuest users to find, if a user with full name "Test User" already exists.
If the same user name exists; this script will print the existing user's Login ID as well the Full Name.
