At my new company, the CMS is ClearCase. I’ve worked with Perforce before and it had a nice built-in notification mechanism for the team to keep up-to-date with files that changed in the project. I’m trying to have something equivalent in ClearCase. I would like to know if someone have achieved this before.
Basically, there is three requirements :
- Have a way to subscribe to a project. One receives only notification on projects it has subscribed to.
- When someone deliver an activity, all the subscribers of the impacted project
receive an email notification about that activity. - The email contain the list of the files affected by this activity. Each modified file has a link that perform a diff that shows what this activity change in this file.
So is someone is aware of a module/extension or any other existing way to put that in place or do I have to do all this manually with trigger and perl scripts ?
Thanks,

we wanted the same here, so we are using a trigger called ucm_complete_delivery.pl that can be found on CM Crossroads.
You need to apply this trigger to your PVOB (as it’s a UCM trigger).
Once you have applied it, you need to define the following Custom Attributes on your UCM component(s):
It’s a bit painful as the mailing list as to be maintained by hand (or you need to use group mail address), but it’s better than nothing. 🙂
