To work on an activity, you must set your development view
to that activity. All work in your view is associated with the currently set
activity, and each version that you create in your view is added to the activity
change set.
Tip: Only one user should set an activity in the
same UCM view at the same time. If multiple users attempt to set an activity
in the same UCM view at the same time, one user succeeds and other users encounter
a set activity retry error. Only one person should have primary use (make
modifications) in a UCM view and other users should do read-only actions in
the view.
You can set activities from the following locations:
- Rational® ClearCase® Explorer
- MyToDoList or the results of any other query (only for projects
that are enabled for Rational ClearQuest®)
- Using the cleartool setactivity command
in a shell or on the command line
- Windows® that open during checkout, and checkin, and
add to source control operations
You can also unset an activity and see which activity is
currently set in the view.
