Cleartool commands in CCRC server side?

Am using Clearcase Remote Client(CCRC) and do not have admin rights. Original Clearcase supports 'cleartool' command line interface where as CCRC uses 'rcleartool'. Now, there are some trigger scripts to be placed at the vob level by the admin. Whether at the server side, 'cleartool' commands will work or 'rcelartool'? Only for the client it will be'rcleartool' instead of 'cleartool'?

It is especially important to note that -- in the case of web and automatic views -- triggers do not execute on the "client" host. They execute on the WAN server. This places a number of limitations on what the triggers can do. For example, all interaction has to be through "clearprompt" commands as interactive triggers are not otherwise supported in web and automatic views.

TO directly answer the question as I read it, the triggers would

  • have to be placed using cleartool commands at the WAN server or some other LAN client.
  • need to use cleartool commands (or some other LAN-client API) to query ClearCase and not "rcleartool."
  • would need to ensure that any interactive elements detect they are running beneath the WAN server (CCASE_WEB_GUI EV set to 1), and use clearprompt as appropriate.

That would use the mktrtype command, which is a cleartool only command (not rcleartool version)

Even the client-side mktrigger has no rcleartool equivalent.

On the server side, an admin would have access to cleartool and can use those two commands.
