CodeCollab GUI issues

Question

I am trying to upload code to Code Collaborator via the GUI. When I enter the server url, username and password and select ClearCase as the SCM, I get the following error: Error: rational cm api for clearcase remote client not found. Has anyone encountered this before? What have you done to solve this?

Answer 1

URL means that you are communicating with a CCRC server (a ClearCase Remote Client server) in order to review code stored in ClearCase.

The CodeCollaborator (v7.0.7027) user guide does mention:

Support for ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC)

CodeCollaborator integration with CCRC uses the Rational Change Management Server API.
When running the CodeCollaborator client installer, there is an edit field allowing you to select the location of the Rational CM API jar files on your system. The required files are:

• remote_core.jar
• stpcc.jar
• stpcmmn.jar
• stpwvcm.jar

These files are installed by the ClearCase Remote Client under the Rational Shared Resource Directory.
The directory should look similar to one of the following:

C:\Program Files\IBM\IMShared\plugins\com.ibm.rational.teamapi_7.1.2.v201105310712
# or
/opt/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.rational.teamapi_7.1.2.v201105310712

Find the location of the files on your system and select or enter it during install so the CodeCollaborator installer can make them available to the CodeCollaborator client.
The installer will copy them to the following subdirectory under the CodeCollaborator client installation directory:

ui/plugins/com.smartbear.collaborator_7.0.xxxx/libs

If using the RPM installer, you will have to manually copy these files to the correct subdirectory.

So make sure you have those files present on the system, and copied on the CodeBear client installation directory.
