A BETTER SOLUTION, INC. ANNOUNCES “CLEARTRIGGER V12.2”

NEWNAN, GA, — ClearTrigger complements IBM/Rational ClearCase (V3.2 and higher) making use of basic, straightforward instructions to apply triggers or in many cases avoid triggers. By making it easier for managers of IBM Rational ClearCase to administer and apply ClearCase policy, our clients are getting more from ClearCase without having to experience long learning curves associated with developing policy enforcement triggers. ClearQuery is bundled with ClearTrigger and provides both the ability to manage ClearTrigger configuration files as well as provide ClearCase/ClearTrigger reporting capabilities.

“A Better Solution has simplified the management of ClearCase policy by raising policy creation and management from a VOB level to the enterprise level.”
-- IBM/Rational Software

ClearTrigger’s flexibility transcends in a number of ways:

* It allows companies to enforce the same or separate sets of rules (triggers) across VOBs, regions of VOBs, the enterprise as a whole or as low at the element level.

* It enables organizations to add triggers for specialized processing requests

* It conveniently integrates with existing ClearCase installations, making the addition of supplemental policy guidelines and policy development easier to enforce with one simple to use tool.

* It does not require moving ClearCase VOBs to new machines or reorganization of existing networks. ClearTrigger regions can even span multiple or even parts of multiple ClearCase regions.

* It allows companies to implement and utilize ClearTrigger in conjunction with their already developed policy scripts.

* It allows companies to implement a user/command matrix that applies to all VOBs in your organization, limit a ClearCase command to only a particular user across all VOBs, or prevent a particular user from performing any VOB data modifying command in a VOB or group of VOBs; all without writing any trigger code.

* Many common functions emulated with triggers are already available out of the box. These common policies are implemented with a flip a bit in the policy configuration file. The policy configuration file can apply to a small number of VOBs or all of the current and future VOBs in your organization.

ClearTrigger 12.2 is a minor release of ClearTrigger that has one significant and often requested enhancement necessary to allow ClearTrigger to take full advantage of new additional ClearReplica shipper process in ClearReplica 6.0 and higher.   ClearReplica from ABS is a low-cost/feature rich ClearCase Multisite alternative.
ClearTrigger 12.1 was a minor release of ClearTrigger that has one significant and often requested performance improvement in the "no mklabel processing" option.  ClearTrigger could always be applied to a VOB to control all triggerable commands, but now can be applied in a manner that controls all commands except the cleartool mklabel command ir desired, resulting in the removal of any performance degradation during the application of ClearCase labels.  ClearTrigger continues to include ClearTrigger Lite which provides a low cost (about 1/4 the cost of ClearTrigger) entry point for ClearTrigger.
Recent ClearTrigger improvments extend the capabilities of ClearTrigger by adding:

* Provides "no_mklabel" processing option
* Includes ClearTrigger Lite
* Full integration with ClearReplica
* Auto Warning/avoidence of future Lost+Found elements
* Auto ownership matchig of newlelements to parent directories
* Additional ClearTrigger Performance Aliases
* Additional Environmental Variables added for you to use in triggers
* Functionality Bit Application Aliases
* Command Key "Ignore" Lists
* Automated InstallShield installation
* Improved Functionality bits
to an already rich set of features

Upgrading to 12.2 is easy and straightforward. Version 12.2 began shipping on February 1, 2008.

“The availability of the ClearTrigger tool as a complement to IBM Rational ClearCase is an exciting continuation of an already popular and widely used software management tool. ClearTrigger adds some very innovative features to extend ClearCase native trigger mechanisms.”
-- David Abelow, IBM Rational’s director of alliance marketing and field enablement

ClearTrigger is licensed so you need in most cases only 1 or 2 licenses of the product even if you have hundreds of licenses of IBM Rational ClearCase. You can get all VOBs in your organization under control for less than the cost of a single license of ClearCase.
