ClearCase in Visual Studio 2015

Is there any workaround to run Rational ClearCase in VS2015 RC? It looks like the plugin is not yet available. Can I use the plugin from VS2013 somehow?

The solution suggested by user 5337760 worked fine for me.

  • In ccvsisearchtoolwin_VS2013.reg and reg_VS2013.bat globally change all instances of 12.0 to 14.0. (I do not use Remote Client, so these 2 files are the only ones I need.)

  • Check the environment variables in reg_VS2013.bat to make sure they match your setting.

  • Run reg_VS2013.bat.

According to http://www.almtoolbox.com/blog/installing-microsoft-visual-studio-2015-integration-with-clearcase , Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 has been integrated with ClearCase since version 8.0.1.10.

The same site also has an unofficial integration of Visual Studio with ClearCase 9.

First apply the latest fix pack for your client version of ClearCase. Support for VS2015 may already be included.

If not, start with the approach IBM proposed for VS2013 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24036865

Before you run the scripts, be sure to replace all links to VS2013 ("12.0") with "14.0") in the provided packages and registry scripts.

Also, since you are probably using a 64-bit system, be sure to specify "Program Files (x86)" where necessary.

Is there any way to use the plugin from VS2013?

You can try, but is not officially supported.
At the moment, I do not know the compatible ClearCase plugin.
