Support of Ansible for install / upgrade CC

ClearCase is available on Linux plateform, and thus, it would be a good idea to have support of Ansible for installing / upgrading Clearcase on that plateform

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.


    It is always possible to write Ansible playbooks and roles which drive the installation routines of ClearCase.

    For example this public playbook installs the Rational License Key Server: https://github.com/osmanburucu-ibm/ansible_install_rlks

    This public playbook install UrbanCode Deploy (as a showcase how to do it): https://github.com/osmanburucu-ibm/deploy-urbancode-deploy

    You can contact me directly if you want more detail how to achieve that.

    Ansible is an open-source software for helping up companies to deploy fast on multiple instances software. It has becoming a de-facto standard, in particular over Linux world.

    Would like to get ansible installation scripts / yaml for ClearCase

    See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible_(software)
