This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.

• Create Integration Workspaces

Overview

The notion of an integration workspace is similar to the implementers’ “private workspace”, where individuals can develop and change code in a contained area. The integration workspace is where software integrators verify that separately developed and tested components can be built and work together as a product.

This tool mentor is applicable when running Microsoft Windows.

Tool Steps

To create an integration and build workspace using ClearCase:

1. From the Windows task bar, go to the View Creation Wizard by clicking Start > Programs > Rational Software > Rational ClearCase > Create View.
2. Use the View Creation Wizard to create a workspace (ClearCase view) and configure it to select the promoted development changes. You are asked to provide information for:

• view name
• view location
• other information depending on your site’s configuration (the View Creation Wizard takes you through the required steps)

 Consult the online help available from the View Creation Wizard for detailed information on creating a view.

 General information on ClearCase views, including configuration information, is available in the ClearCase manual Developing Software.
