To set activities from the Rational ClearQuest user database

About this task

Tip: The first time you set an activity in a project that is enabled for Rational® ClearQuest®, you must set it from the Rational ClearQuest user database as described in this section. Because you cannot create UCM activity objects directly in these projects, you must use the Rational ClearQuest client to create the activity object. More information is available on creating activities in a project enabled for Rational ClearQuest.

After the activity object is created in your stream, you can use cleartool setactivity if you need to set the activity subsequently.

Procedure

Start the Rational ClearQuest client and do one of the following:
- Display MyToDoList and, in the left pane, click Workspace > Public Queries > UCMUserQueries and run the MyToDoList query.
- Use another query to find the activity to set.
In the Query results pane, click the activity to set.
In the Record form pane, if it is not already selected, select your project in the UCM Project list. (Your project manager determines the location for this list while creating the corresponding record type.)
Click Actions > WorkOn.
Perform one of the following actions:
- On Windows, in the Select View window, select Show Only My Streams.
- On the UNIX system or Linux, in the ClearQuest - Get a View Context window, select Show my streams only.
Click the plus sign (+) next to your stream; then select your development view and click OK.

Results

The status bar in the Rational ClearQuest user database indicates that your view is being set to the activity.
