RTC 3.x. with RAD and RSA (without IDE integration)
Rational Team Concert 3.x is supported for integration only with RAD and RSA 8.x, that means, it cannot be installed as a plugin on RAD or RSA 7.x.
So, has anybody any experience of using these tools without IDE integration?
I mean, a developer working with RAD or RSA 7.x won't be able to perform the checkin and delivery operations from the RAD or RSA IDE.
Is keeping both RAD (or RSA) and RTC open at coding time the only solution?
Or are there any workarounds based, say, on command-line scripting that can avoid that?

Hi
You can use the commandline interface to RTC - either as an external commandshell action you need to run whenever you check in.
Keeping an RTC shell open is probably easier - just need to make sure you refresh RTC and RSA regularly so nothing gets changed underneath you.
In RTC 4.0 in Windows 7 - the Windows Explorer interface will make this a lot easier (if you are running on W7).
