A Better Solution, Inc. - ClearTrigger - Product add-ons - IBM Rational Tools and Products

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 you 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).

Read about some of the new features of ClearTrigger . Let ClearTrigger simplify the task of maintaining triggers and policy in your organization. Use ClearTrigger to restrict users, define triggers or disallow commands without having to visit every VOB in your region. Conventional methods of developing ClearCase triggers have been circumvented with ClearTrigger in order to provide administrators with a fast and easy approach to defining policy at both the user and enterprise level. Implementing ClearTrigger is so basic and straightforward that administrators of all experience levels can use it. It conveniently integrates with your current ClearCase installation and doesn't require moving VOBs to new machines or reorganizing your network. Just install and configure ClearTrigger and get started.

Some of the features added in recent ClearTrigger versions are:

General Performance Improvements. ClearTrigger received the benefit of internal changes so it has a smaller footprint, uses less memory, and performs fewer file writes and reads allowing it to perform faster while still adding more functionality. Relocatable Logging Dirs. Relocation Aliases allow for ClearTrigger logging information and ClearReplica shipout information to be written to any network location. Relocation Aliases allow for the ClearTrigger depot itself to be located on a read-only share, device or media if needed. Performance Improvements for Label Creation. 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.

'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 replicated VOBs. Addition and integration of ClearTrigger Lite to allow a low-cost entry into many of the features of ClearTrigger. (read page 5 of the product matrix)
