I'm attempting to integrate Clearcase and Beyond Compare so that Clearcase will use Beyond Compare for xml and dta files (zip file with a different extension).
I've successfully identified the Clearcase types that I need to update in the map file ( _xml2 and z_whole_copy ) and have modified the lines for compare, xcompare, merge, and xmerge to point to the location of BComp.exe (i.e., matching your instructions)
I've configured Beyond Compare to recognize .dta as a zip file extension.
When I'm performing the rebase it now is launching Beyond Compare instead of the default clearcase compare/merge tool.
Beyond Compare is recognizing that it's a zip file and allowing me to browse and view sub-files.
However, the comparison is only showing a 2-way instead of a 3-way. When I close the comparision (after opening a sub-file with diffs so it identifies differences) ClearCase then attempts to launch Beyond Compare to merge the files. Beyond Compare errors out stating that it can't find the folder specified and pointing to a temp file/folder in my AppLocal area named mvfsless12345678 where 12345678 looks to be a unique id.
Clearcase then appears to timeout in the background saying that it had an error couldn't find the .merge file...
Thoughts? Suggestions? More information that I could provide?
Thanks!
