  • 1.  Can I get data from CC into Excel?

    Posted Wed February 10, 2016 06:38 PM

    I recently upgraded to CC v8. I want to display some information about CC into an Excel dashboard, so I’m trying to automatically pull information from the back-end DB into Excel. I figured I should do this through ODBC or some API tool. I’m also investigating as to if it’s a possibility to query the CC database from Visual Studio or Microsoft SQL Server Development Studio. Any help is appreciated!

    Yes, that is possible using VBA and the ClearCase Automation Library (CAL):

    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21123249

    I created Excel spreadsheets with menus that generate various ClearCase reports. Works great (although slow).

    Example:

    Set ctObj = CreateObject("ClearCase.ClearTool")
    rCode = ctObj("startview " & viewName)
    rCode = ctObj("mount " & pvobTag)
    rCode = ctObj("cd M:" & viewName & pvobTag)
    projectList = Split(ctObj("lsproject -fmt ""%[name]p\n"""), vbCrLf)

    ...gives you an array with all the projects in your PVOB.
