The following preferences can be changed on the
Team > ClearCase SCM Adapter > Annotate Add-on
preference page.
| Option | Description | Default |
| Enable element type check |
If this option is enabled, the Annotate Add-On checks before every Annotate
operation, whether the selected object is a ClearCase element and whether
the element type of the element is contained in the subsequent list of element
types. If this option is disabled, the Annotate operation is executed directly. If then the selected object does not have an element type that is supported by "cleartool annotate" or if it is not a ClearCase element, a runtime exception occurs. The advantage of checking the element is that the display of a perhaps incomprehensible runtime exception is prevented. The disadvantage is a small performance overhead because an additional "cleartool" invocation is necessary to find out the element type. |
Enabled |
| Restrict to the following element types: |
If the element type check is enabled, the determined element type is looked
up in this list. If the determined element type is not contained in the list,
the Annotate operation is cancelled and an error message is displayed. If the ClearCase administrator has create additional element types that are derived from "text_file" or "compressed_text_file", these element types should be added to this list. |
text_file compressed_text_file |
| Cleartool Command | The Annotate Add-On uses the "cleartool" command to execute the Annotate operation. If "cleartool" should not be found via the search path in your environment, the absolute pathname for the "cleartool" executable must be entered into this field. | cleartool |
