Clearcase connector question
Where can we find some documentation on the inner-workings of the CC connector ?
We have set up the CC connector and it is working fine, however the use of the different workspaces/streams by the connector is not entirely clear. We have: jazz stream = ProjectX_Jazz2CC jazz clearcase workspace = ProjectX_Jazz2CC Sync Workspace Next we do: - create a workpace from the jazz-stream (ProjectX_Jazz2CC Workspace) - change a file in this workspace and deliver the change - do some changes in clearcase - synchronise with clearcase The effect is: - Jazz changes are visible in clearcase (as expected) - CC changes are available as incoming changeset on my ProjectX_Jazz2CC Workspace (as expected) - jazz and CC changes are NOT accepted in the jazz-clearcase-workspace The last point puzzles me, as I would have expected that all changes from/to CC would go via the jazz-clearcase-workspace ? thanks Daan. |

I'd like to know the same. Additionally can someone describe the purpose of the CLONE and INTERNAL workspaces that get created?

This is documented in the on-line dynamic help in the "Resolving
conflicts during synchronization" section. In particular, this section tells you about the "merge workspace" (owned by the team member that resolves conflicts between the Jazz and ClearCase streams) and the read-only "CLONE workspace" (which holds the pending changes from ClearCase when there are conflicts to be resolved). There is also an "INTERNAL workspace", but you don't need to know anything about that (fyi, it is the workspace which the synchronization algorithm uses to try to auto-merge changes from Jazz and ClearCase). WRT Daan's question, changes from/to CC go through the synchronized stream, not through the jazz-clearcase-workspace. The jazz-clearcase-workspace is the place where you resolve any merge conflicts between jazz and clearcase (see the on-line dynamic help for details).
