Hi,
I downloaded and installed Crucible to test it in our code review process. We use ClearCase for our version control software and I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I, and if so, should I connect Crucible to our production ClearCase system?
2. If possible, will it affect ClearCase in anyway?
3. If it is not possible (or if I should not connect to it), can I test Crucible in a standalone configuration?
BTW, we are looking to move away from ClearCase within the next six months.
Thanks,
Jim
Hey @jim,
Fisheye and Crucible used to support ClearCase repositories, but that was until version 2.7, according to this announcement.
It is not natively possible to add ClearCase repositories into Fisheye/Crucible from version 2.8 onwards, which, on its turn, is a very old version of Fisheye and Crucible, and is also no longer supported because it reached the End of Life policy for support. The older Fisheye/Crucible supported in this present day is 4.1.
I've searched for third-party add-ons in our Marketplace but could not find any compatible with Fisheye / Crucible.
At the moment, your only options seem to be:
This second option seems to be your best one, specially having in mind that you mentioned you intend to move away from ClearCase within the next six months.
I hope this information helps!

Thanks, we are planning to move off ClearCase, but that will take some time. Can Crucible be used without connecting to a version control system? Does it have a value if the code can be copied into it rather can pulling it from a system?

Hi @jim,
As can be seen in the Crucible and FishEye document, both of these products can run in complete isolation of the other, but they are distributed together, in a single package, and start as a single instance.
You just "unlock" the usage of one, or the other, or both, by configuring a valid license for each product in their corresponding License field, as can be seen in this image:
That being said, there are many ways of adding content to a Crucible review, as can be seen here:
Two of these options do not require having a repository added to the instance: "Pre-commit" patches and the "Attachments".
Maybe one of these two options suit your needs?
Regards,
Felipe
