Delete activities when ClearQuest Record is linked with a UCM activity

Delete activities when ClearQuest Record is linked with a UCM activity
 
You can enable ClearQuest and ClearCase integration to manage the developement process. ClearQuest is used as a defect tracking tool and ClearCase is used as source control repository. If a Rational ClearQuest record is linked with a UCM activity and you want to delete the activity, you should do:
  • Remove the link between UCM activity and ClearQuest records (In ClearCase side)
  • Delete ClearQuest records(in ClearQuest side)
Before you remove the link between UCM activity and ClearQuest records, below requisiton must be fulfilled:
  • no changeset in that activity. If yes, move the change sets to other activity
  • the operator to do this must be the owner of the ClearQuest record. Not the submitter but the owner
Then you can use below command to remove the link
cleartool rmactivity clearquest_record_id
 
executing above command does not delete the ClearQuest record. So you must login the ClearQuest and do the Delete action then. The access control of the Deletion is defined in the ClearQuest schema. You should ask the ClearQuest admin to confirm if you have the right to delete the record.
