So, you may be wondering… “Why yet another SCM related blog (yasrb)?” I submit to you that though there are many good blogs with decent information, there are some things that I know that I needed to research and put together all by myself - because no one published about it.
To all the CVS/Perforce/Subversion-ites out there… I am not looking to create yet another forum for bashing ClearCase. I happen to like the tool despite some of its shortcomings. There are things I can do in ClearCase I couldn’t dream of doing in any other tool…
Now that we’ve cleared that up…
I am not an ancient oracle, nor am I a babe in the woods. I have worked mainly with ClearCase, and have some experience with Perforce. I started in Configuration Management in 2001, and have never looked back to doing straight development; or anything else for that matter.
Here is a summary of my current environment. This may change if I change companies, but at good portion of entries after this one should be relating more or less to my experiences in this place.
· We have about 700 ClearCase/ClearQuest users.
· Running ClearCase 7.0.1 in Solaris with an NFS Maestro inter-op for Windows
· 95% of development is JAVA related.
· 80% of users use Eclipse
· Most apps use WebLogic
· Most apps are deployed with BladeLogic
· There are 5 distinct groups of development with their own rules and needs which we are trying to bring together to one process
