Adrian,
I used (or rather tried to use) it with ARS v5.x.
I went as far as getting a conference call with a Clear Case second
level engineer and a second level Remedy (at the time) engineer to try
to figure out what was going on. At the end of the calls (it took
three, one hour meetings, if memory serves) it was determined that the
way Clear Case implemented the Microsoft Source Control API was very,
very lacking in functionality. (and maybe even compliant with the spec
too! ) We also determined that the way Remedy's Admin Tool was
exporting files was not helping matters any at all. (Mostly due to
name space collisions between types of objects and where/how the files
were named after export.)
Long story short... it was such a pain that it was a very negative
experience with both products.
FWIW:
I hear some very good things about features that are now available
in ARS v7.5. (And more to come in future versions too.)
If v7.5 is to far off in the the future for you, then I would suggest
you look at using the ARS API to get the job done. (A custom
integration should be very possible.)
