RTC and InfoSphere DataStage
Does InfoSphere DataStage support an integraton with RTC?
An integration with ClearCase and CVS is supported, according to the infocenter:

What about RTC instead?
Has anybody any experience with this scenario?

Accepted answer
Note that the documentation on the SCM interface for InfoSphere can be found at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iisinfsv/v8r5/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.iis.ds.deploy.help.doc%2Ftopics%2Fversioncontol.html
It sounds like what they have done should work for any SCM system, but in that case, it wouldn't make sense to single out specifically ClearCase and CVS. If I get a chance to discuss this with the InfoSphere folks, I'll post a follow-up (and of course, if someone else gets a chance to do so, please post what you find out to this thread).

Hi,
I would suggest to ask the Information Management Folks.
If the tool is based on Eclipse, has a supported Eclipse version and follows the Eclipse SCM interfaces there is a good chance it will work. If it needs special SCM interfaces or is not based on Eclipse or has not a matching Eclipse version, then it is unlikely it will work in the same IDE.

I should add that the way the Infosphere Server Manager works with the SCM tools is very unfriendly to integration with other SCM tools unless the SCM plugin is enabled.
To integrate ISM with the scm system, you have to execute the ISM function to export the ISM project to the eclipse workspace where it becomes an Eclipse project that can then be shared with the SCM system.
Unfortunately this functionality is only enabled when one of the supported SCM tools, either CVS or Clearcase are enabled.
If this function was enabled without having the SCM configured then you could version control the project using the RTC thick client running in a separate workspace.
Hello,
i found this link about Infosphere and SCM. I haven't read it in details yet, but it really seems possible to plug Datastage with RTC (and others SCM tools) : http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248028.pdf
I think i will try because i need to plugin Datastage and RTC to control the development around Datatstage.
If since your last comments, you have been able to test this solution, let me know ! I'm interested
