3 IBM Rational ClearCase Review New features in v7.1 At a Glance CCRC advances toward ClearCase Common Client New, modern and scalable CM Server for CCRC and CQ Web Java-based, WAN-friendly API Administrative simplification through ClearCase MultiSite Monitoring Consolidated Install Technology New Unicode Type Manager 3

4 CCRC in a Nutshell ClearCase over a Wide Area (high latency) Network Pockets of remote users where MultiSite would not be cost effective Working at home Working disconnected, traveling Minimizes communication between CCRC client and server CCRC server is the ClearCase client May be used in a LAN environment Supports Web views only not Snapshot or Dynamic views Excellent performance Integrated with Visual Studio Future Investment in CCRC is growing Functional Parity with native clients Consolidated ClearCase Client 4

5 ClearCase 7.1 CCRC Agile Process support Usability Customizable GUI Framework CQ Integration Navigator, Queries & Forms GUI extension point CCRC (RCP) Unix Macintosh OS support 5

6 ClearCase 7.1 CCRC (continued) A waypoint on the road to 8.0 Server and Client are hybrids of existing and new technology Begins as Franken CCRC Ends much better than CMServer Performance, Scalability, TCO CMAPI Uniform Java API for both CC and CQ CCRC Functionality, Usability, Agility, Performance, Productivity 6

7 ClearCase CCRC : Agile Process support Pending Changes View Supports both base ClearCase and UCM Explorer enhancements to show buried changes without expansion Scoped common operations to take advantage of that knowledge Undo Checkout/Hijack On Views, Projects, Directories, Activities Recursive Add To Source Control, Checkout and Hijack, with filtering Deliver and Rebase Default option for single button operation under optimal conditions Settings for default streams/views, silent checkin, automatic completion Advanced option for complete control Scheduled updating, notification of changes from integration branch/stream 7

8 ClearCase CCRC : Usability New and Improved Developer Usage Stream, Component, VOB creation Configuring and loading views Complete preference control for common operations Consolidated explorer views including ClearQuest Wan Forms & Queries Revised menu structure true context menus Support for Eclipse Diff/Merge tools, possibly third party tools Improved comparison support Activity Toolbar More than 180 Customer Requests for Enhancement Implemented!! 8

9 ClearCase CCRC : Performance and Scalability Filtering Easily and quickly create filters that bring you directly to the objects you want Avoid repetitive navigation deep into the directory structure Named, persistent across sessions Work disconnected with loaded resources Add and remove elements from existing filters as needs change Rules using logical expressions for additional customization Import and Export filters for sharing between installations, users 9

10 ClearCase CCRC : Filtering Unfiltered Filtered 10

13 What is CM Server? CM Server stands for Change Management Server. It is a unified (single technology stack) application server for both ClearCase and ClearQuest. It is the next generation server for WAN access ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) CCRC also provides access ClearQuest database CQ Web ClearCase CM API Any other future WAN clients 13

14 Why build CM Server Reduce TCO by consolidating servers for CC and CQ Standardize configuration and admin of the servers Permit better CC/CQ integration Reduce engineering cost to IBM Single server Use expertise from other brands (WebSphere, Tivoli) 14

15 CM Server 7.1 A high-performing server based deployment model that s easily managed, administered and upgraded Single technology stack for CQ and CC servers Provide infrastructure for WAN based clients CCRC CQ web Provide WAS based servers Highly scalable scales horizontally & vertically Backward/Forward compatible with clients/other servers WAS Web Legacy Services WAS CCRC Servlet Servlet Web CM Team Services EJBs WAS Servlet Servlet ONC RPC Adaptor Web CM Team Services EJBs Servlet Servlet ONC RPC Adaptor CM EJBs c++ CCRPC or CQRPC CCRPC Server or ONC CQRPC Adaptor Server Computer CCRPC or BCQRPC Core c++ Server CCRPC or or CQ CQRPC Core Libraries CCRPC Server or or CQRPC CQ Server Core Computer Libraries CCRPC or or BCQRPC CQ Core c++ Server Libraries CC CCRPC or or CQ CQRPC Core Libraries CCRPC Server or or CQRPC CQ Server Core Computer Libraries CCRPC or or BCQRPC Computer BCQ Core Server Libraries CC or CQ Core Libraries CC or CQ Core Libraries CC or CQ Libraries RPC RPC Computer C RPC Computer D RPC Traditional CC and CQ DB Servers SQL/ ODBC 15

16 ClearCase CM API A unified client-side Java API for access to ClearCase and ClearQuest artifacts Based on the JSR-147 proposed standard: WVCM OS and platform independent ClearCase / ClearQuest APIs Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, etc Provides a common Team data model and domain specific services Supports the full life cycle of software product development Supports customer and partner developer ecosystem 16

17 ClearCase Global Monitoring Provides administrator view of CC & CCMS deployment from anywhere in the world!! Monitors VOB & View Servers Monitor for Events Customizable Event settings User specified Thresholds and Severity Expert Advice on Events OS Agent: Memory usage, Disk Space, CPU ClearCase Agent : Shipping Bay Threshold Issues Multisite Import/Export Failures ALBD Process Failures Historical collection of data Reporting Templates (BIRT) Replaces Monitoring capabilities of CCMS Admin console and CC Admin Console 17
