A new, simpler tool for importing ClearCase version history into Rational Team Concert (RTC) was introduced in RTC 4.0.5. This is a new stand-alone tool that does not require ClearCase synchronization to be set up to use it. This presentation will first provide an overview of the difference between ClearCase and RTC SCM, then talk about the new migration tool and its enhanced capability in upcoming RTC release. You will understand how the tool can help you migrating the data successfully and it concludes with a live demo of the migration tool. Watch the presentation on YouTube: http://ow.ly/uvBSX

ClearCase Version Importer
• Two step importer
1. Export data from ClearCaseAll the file element versions in all branches, version properties, configurations ( label-types, views ) are extracted to intermediate files
2. Import data into RTCThe intermediate files are imported to RTC and file version histories and baselines are created in the RTC repository

RTC 4.0.6 (Q1 2014) ClearCase Version ImporterMake the tool more consumable & incorporate feedback
Multiple Configuration Import
– ClearCase views, label types can be imported by single operation
– They are imported as RTC baselines
Increased Robustness & consumability
– Restarting migration commands will resume the operationThis is helpful when the command fails in the middle by network glitch or scheduled outage, etc.
– Incremental Migration
• Large VOB can be migrated by sub-folders
• Additional versions can be migrated subsequently
• Additional configurations can be migrated subsequently

CLM 2014 Continuous Client Feedback Program/CCF Plan Program summary: The Continuous Client Feedback (CCF) Program is a new type of client program
created to support the strategy of the continuous delivery model, in place of the Beta Program used in past CLM releases.
Who are the target clients: We will leverage an extended client base for discussions of the nature that can be included on jazz.net. If the IBM team needs to discuss future topics beyond jazz.net (i.e., IBM Confidential in nature) we will leverage the clients under NDA agreement only. We will include the following clients: Existing DPP clients More practitioners from the existing DPP companies (administrator, tester, developer, business
analyst, scrum master) Previous beta clients, and new clients (with practitioners to participate)
How to facilitate feedback: IBM team needs to show clients the new features and improvements. Need to start as early as possible to get design feedback. IBM stakeholders and the clients will drive
the need for follow on discussions and reevaluate certain features after including clients’ feedback. The Jazz.net sandbox will be the milestone delivery method to clients who can’t install in their own
environments for hands on testing. Obtain client feedback on consumability & quality via hands-on testing of selected milestone(s) Conduct polls along the way, also send a short formal survey before QCert.
What is the duration of the program: Goal is to start getting clients engaged with earliest possible milestone agreed to by development team. Will end no later than 2 weeks after eGA, with additional feedback used as input to future release.
When to report feedback: Will provide small feedback report for QCert, and provide updates before the program ends.
CCF for RTC 5.0: Kick off meeting is planned for the week of March 3rd. Contact: Brian Jones ( [email protected] )
