If total control of your ClearCase enterprise is what you want and you wish to bring policy to the enterprise level then dive into ClearTrigger. With ClearTrigger you can define triggers that are automatically and instantly defined for all VOBs ( or just a few if you prefer). Associated triggers with additional metadata types like times, views, groups, VOBs, elements, replicas or even use pattern matching for any of the types. Use functionality bits to get the most popular trigger functionality without having to write any trigger code. ClearTrigger even makes about 30 extra ClearTrigger environmental variables available for your use in triggers so won't have to write code to calculate these commonly requested values (i.e VOB_owner Is_replicated, Is_Project_VOB, Is_Web_User, VOB_primary_group).

ClearTrigger was changed to now allow you to optionally avoid ClearTrigger processing for ClearCase label application. Command Key Ignore List provides even more granular control over when Triggers fire or don't fire. Functionality Bit Application Aliases provide more granular control over when Functionality Bits fire. ClearTrigger Performance Aliases to improve ClearTrigger Performance.

Integration with iApproveIt for the iPhone.

'Evil Twin' Functionality Bit was enhanced to allow for the "repair" of previous element rmname attempts. Performance Improvements that make ClearTrigger aware of additional ClearReplica "class" files. ClearTrigger ClearTrigger is aware of ClearReplica "Class" files that enable ClearReplica to run multiple ClearReplica Shippers and Receivers in parallel, even across distributed machines from heterogeneous architectures. This leads to faster performance for packet creation and processing. Functionality Bits: - Auto Warn/Prevent Lost+Found Elements (bit 21) - Auto Protect Like Parent (bit 22) - Force 'Unreserved' checkouts (bit 23) ClearReplica Performance Aliases to improve ClearTrigger Performance on non-ClearReplica-replicate VOBs.
