Hi

Thanks

Hi,

what you could try to do is set the clearcase merge tool as external compare merge tool in the IDE preferences/options (VStudio). Look for Team or Jazz Source Control (VStudio) and underneath for External Compare Tool /Comparetool (VStudio).

Not sure that'll work though.

The ClearCase merge tool is supposed to appear in the "External Merge
Tools" list ... but I just checked, and it isn't there. I'll make sure
it gets into the next release.

Until then, you can set it as your custom merge tool.
Here are the default pathnames of the appropriate executables on Windows
(do the usual pathname transformations if you are on Unix):

2-way compare
location of executable: C:\Program
Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleardiffmrg.exe
local compare arguments: ${file1Path} ${file2Path}
remote compare arguments: ${file1Path} ${file2Path}

3-way compare:
location of executable: C:\Program
Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleardiffmrg.exe
arguments: -base ${ancestorFilePath} -out ${mergeFilePath} ${file1Path}
${file2Path}

Cheers,
Geoff

Thank you Geoff & Ralph!

Geoff will this have a jazz.net enhancement request to get it in to a future release? If yes please provide the ID number.

Thanks again,
