• Q&A

Agenda

What is ClearCase CMI?

• CMI stands for Change Management Integration. It is a key touch-point with

Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) strategy.

• The ClearCase CMI brings a new level of reliability, security, flexibility and

extensibility to the integration of ClearCase with Change Management

providers such as ClearQuest and Rational Team Concert.

• CMI is an enhancement to ClearCase which leverages dynamically loaded

libraries to support different CM providers. It is configurable on a branch by

branch basis, or, in UCM, on individual streams.

• CMI supports secure Common Access Card (CAC) authorization at the CM

provider site, and tools to repair and recover from network or user errors

without impacting productivity.

Recap of CMI Capabilities as of June, 2013

• Base CC-CQ integration: since 7.1.2.10 & 8.0.0.6 & 8.0.1

• Base CC-RTC integration: since 8.0.0.7 & 8.0.1.1

• UCM-CQ/RTC integration: since 8.0.0.7 & 8.0.1.1

• UCM-RTC support through CTE

• Supported on multiple platforms

• Username / password and smart card authentication

• New cleartool commands/flags for ease of use and administration– Configure the VOB or a branch type for CMI (Admin)

• cleartool mkcmprovider / lsprovider / rmprovider

– Set a current task (End User)

• cleartool settask / lstask / chtask

– Non-smartcard authentication (End User)

• cmiregister

• Query support

• Improved performance



11

New CMI Capabilities since June 2013

• Migration Tool for base CC-CQ Integration from perl-based to CMI

• CM Repair Tool

• GUI support for native clients

• ClearQuest State Transition support

• RTC State Transition support

• Policy to configure minimum number of required tasks on a version

or activity (can be zero).

• “Apply to All” GUI enhancement (multiple checkins)



12

Our In-house Use of CMI

• We rolled out CMI-based CC and RTC integration in house

with two major reasons:

– while the developers have been using the CCRC/CTE eclipse client

to associate a UCM activity with a RTC WI for change set traceability,

it is quite unnatural for command line developers (such as the

ClearCase MVFS team and the CC RE team) to use Eclipse just for

association purpose.

– leverage IHD use to test out this new feature, with different client

types, and different platforms.

• Phased roll out starting with enabling it on developer’s dev

stream.

• Some UCM streams use CC-RTC bridge (via CTE) and CC-

RTC CMI together.



• From BaseCC-CQ legacy integration

– CMI provides robust and secure integration

– You can stop maintaining perl triggers ( if you have customized )

– Migration tool is available

• From UCM-CQ legacy integration

– CMI provides robust and secure integration

– CMI provides flexible configuration

• Enabling/configuring by stream, Policy based association

• From CC-RTC bridge integration

– CMI provides stream/branch based configuration with policies

– Cleartool and native GUI supports RTC integration as well

Advantages of migrating to CMI
