Import ClearCase Stream or Branch into RTC

The ClearCase importer imports a series of "baselines" from ClearCase
into an RTC stream. A baseline in UCM ClearCase is a UCM baseline. A
baseline in non-UCM ClearCase is a locked label type. No intermediate
versions (i.e. versions not selected by an imported baseline) is
imported. The only meta-data that is imported is the list of UCM
activities that contributed to the baseline since the last imported
baseline (i.e., what diffbl would tell you).

The IBM docs that I saw said that "some" change history is
brought over during the import. Can someone tell me what specific
history is brought over and what is not brought over?

Thanks,

Thank you for the informative response to my question. Almost all of our code is in non-UCM VOBs, so let me fine tune my next question with that focus. So, from your explaination it would seem that no change history comes along in VOBs that only contain Base ClearCase (non-UCM) elements?

Thanks,

Scott

The only piece of metadata that you can bring over for non-UCM VOBs is
the version comment on a version that was imported. Since there is a
performance cost associated with doing so, this is by default off, but
you can turn it on by setting the SYNC_CC_VERSION_COMMENTS Property to
true (this feature was introduced in 3.0).

Just for interest's sake, what change history information were you
looking to import into RTC?

Cheers,
Geoff
