Error description
Headline: 'Select activities to consider for merge' option unavailable for ClearQuest-integrated UCM projects in CCRC 7.1.1.3 or later APAR description: In IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) 7.1.1.3, 7.1.2 or later, the option to 'Select activities to consider for merge' in the ClearCase Merge Search is unavailable when selecting a destination view which is associated with a IBM Rational ClearQuest-integrated UCM stream. The option to 'Select activities to consider for merge' is still available for destination views associated with non-ClearQuest UCM projects and streams, however. Additionally, the option to 'Select elements to consider for merge' is available under all circumstances. The 'Select activities to consider for merge' functionality was introduced in CCRC 7.1.1.2, which is confirmed to work with ClearQuest UCM integrated projects; this defect was introduced in subsequent versions. Steps to reproduce the issue: 1) In ClearCase Remote Client, select the 'ClearCase ? ClearCase Merge Search' menu option. 2) For 'Destination View', choose a view associated with a ClearQuest UCM project. 3) Under 'Select Activity', choose any available activity and click Next. 4) The only option available will be 'Select elements to consider for merge'; the 'Select activities to consider for merge' option will not be available, as would be the case when selecting a view which is not associated with a CQ-integrated UCM project. WORKAROUND: One or more of the following options may allow the needed changes to be merged to the target destination: - Perform the Merge Search from a 7.1.1.2 ClearCase Remote Client (it is not necessary to have the CM Server also be at 7.1.1.2). - Manually merge the required changes from the ClearCase Remote Client version-tree GUI. - Deliver the activity(ies) as normal to the target, rather than performing a Merge Search. - Use 'cleartool findmerge -fcsets' from a ClearCase thick-client to merge the required changes.
