Rational ClearQuest packages

This section describes the latest version of each Rational® ClearQuest® package. Earlier package versions might create different record types and fields. Some packages consist entirely of functions that cannot be changed.

Package Description Added or modified Fields
AuditTrail Supports auditing of changes to Rational ClearQuest records. See The AuditTrail package    
Attachments (read-only) Supports adding and removing attachments related to a record. Adds an Attachments tab to the enabled record type. Fields added to enabled record type:
  • Attachments
CharacterSetValidation Version 1.0 of the package avoids data corruption by preventing Rational ClearQuest clients from versions earlier than 2002.05.01 Patch 02 from submitting non-ASCII data to schema repositories. The package is used when the Rational ClearQuest data code page for a schema repository is set to ASCII. If a user performs an action that attempts to send non-ASCII data to the user database, a code page mismatch error is generated.

Version 2.0 of the package disables version 1.0, if it is no longer needed. Rational ClearQuest version 2002.05.01 Patch 02 added features to enforce code page checking. If you applied version 1.0, and subsequently upgraded all Rational ClearQuest clients to version 2002.05.01 Patch 02 and later, you must apply version 2.0 to disable version 1.0.

Version 1.0 adds two Perl hooks for all record types that have states:
  • The access control hook CheckCodePageMismatch
  • The base validation hook CharacterSetValidation
Adds the ratl_data_code_page stateless record type.

Version 2.0 disables version 1.0.
