Hudson and CCRC integration

Question

I am trying to configure the Clearcase Remote client with Hudson build. I downloaded clearcase.hpi file.

There are 2 options Base Clearcase and UCM clearcase, i don't know which to use (not well know about CC). So started with BaseClearcase. given all inputs as asked in Hudson clear case input form.

Issue is throwing a exception

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cleartool"

Hudson is asking cleartool executable file, what it is? is it different from Clearcase Remote client install ? where to configure it hudson?

Answer 1

This is expected: cleartool is from a full ClearCase installation, which you don't have.

CCRC is a lightweight ClearCase installation, a client talking to a CCRC server through web request only.

You can try and use rcleartool, but I don't know if this will be compatible with the Hudson ClearCase plugin: if that plugin tries to create a snapshot or dynamic view, it won't work, since CCRC uses only web views (like snapshot view, but with slightly different parameters at the creation).

Support for CCRC is still pending (JENKINS-5192).
