Rational ClearQuest integrations and data code pages
Rational®
ClearQuest® integrates
with a number of applications. If the application can pass and receive
Unicode data, all data passed from Rational
ClearQuest is
transferred correctly regardless of the local character set or language
setting on the client that runs the integration. Rational
ClearQuest always
verifies that data passed to one of its applications can be stored
correctly in the database set.
If the other application is not fully Unicode compliant, its data is considered to be in Local mode. In this case, Rational ClearQuest attempts to convert data to the code page that corresponds to the client's local character set. If it cannot perform the conversion, it returns an error to indicate that it is unable to write the data back to the integration correctly.
Existing integrations use the Unicode compatibility modes in the table below.
| Integration | Mode |
|---|---|
| Mainframe (SCLM) | RETURN_STRING_LOCAL |
| IBM® Rational ClearCase® (Base) | RETURN_STRING_LOCAL |
| IBM Rational ClearCase (UCM) | RETURN_STRING_LOCAL |
| IBM PurifyPlus | RETURN_STRING_LOCAL |
| ProjectTracker (integration with Microsoft Project) | RETURN_STRING_UNICODE |
| Eclipse | RETURN_STRING_UNICODE |
Schema developers can create integrations between Rational ClearQuest and other applications.
