Adding a form using ClearCase

Creating a brand new form / service / report that has never existed before is a special case in a Configuration Managed environment. This also applies to a new table / sub-type / library etc, but not a new register, field etc since these exist ‘within’ an existing entity (file).

Provided that you have already created a ClearCase developer view, you can create the new Uniface form component in the usual manner from the IDF.

To load it into the ClearCase repository, open the Windows Explorer, and navigate to:

Y:\Uprj1\components\new-component-name.XML

Use the right mouse menu to select ClearCase, Add to Source Control.

In our example we created a new activity, and deactivated the ‘Keep checked out’ option.

Press OK.

The form will now be checked in as described previously.
