I am unable to find any definitive documentation on how to integrate IBM Rational Application Developer v9.0 with ClearCase Remote Client server v7.1.2. My questions are: is this possible? and how can it be done? Most of the compatibility charts published by IBM appear to be out of date and do not reference RAD v9.
I have been able to use the Eclipse ClearCase plugin found on SourceForge. However, solutions based on cleartool commands have proven to be somewhat sluggish in the WAN environment in which I am working. My attempts to install the CCRC plugin in RAD 9 result in dependency conflicts and attempts to install the CCRC extension via IBM installation manager result in generic error message saying that a conflict exists.
Can this be done? It seems as though the Installation Manager offerings for CCRC shown here (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21432752) should work with RAD, but I'm wondering if RAD 9 is too new for CCRC v7.1.2. There is no confirmation of that anywhere that I have been able to located, however.
The integration between a classic ClearCase and RAD is already shaky (see the recent question "Connecting a Snapshot View to Clearcase in RAD 7.5")
So to my knowledge, no, there is no official integration, because rcleartool or the java CM API isn't yet fully integrated in a RAD-compatible CCRC plugin.
RAD 9 is the most recent RAD, and only a recent CCRc (the ClearTeam 8.X, with its rcleartool or CM API) would be a cancidate for integration.
CCRC 7.1.x seems too old for integrating with such a recent RAD.
