Keep ClearCase/ClearQuest V2 Integration in future releases. It is already implemented and changing to the CMI integration has negative impacts.

Keep ClearCase/ClearQuest V2 Integration in future releases.  It is already implemented and changing to the CMI integration has negative impacts.

CC/CQ V2 Integration was announced as deprecated in 9.1/10.x, yet still functions.  Functionality will be disabled in future versions, starting in 2024.  Directions are to migrate to CC/CQ CMI Integration.

Keep CC/CQ V2 Integration.  It is currently implemented and functional.  Continued support in future releases should be minimal, only requiring regression testing and updates if underlying dependencies change, such as Perl version changes.

Sites that currently use CC/CQ V2 Integration should be able to continue using it with little to no impacts.

Migrating to CC/CQ CMI Integration has several negative impacts to a site:

- Requires CQ Web services.  Some site cannot implement CQ Web.  E.g. company policies, closed secure labs, etc.

- Requires a CQ OSLC package be applied to all schemas and deployed to the databases.  Some sites cannot update their schemas for various reasons.  

- Requires CC VOBs have attribute objects and CMI providers created.  

- The effort to perform these changes may seem insignificant for a single CC/CQ pair.  An update may actually involve having to get program approval, security approval, update CC VOBs and CQ databases, test, and deploy.  This effort scales up when multiple VOBs or databases are involved.  Some site may have dozens or hundreds of repositories.

The CC/CQ Integration Configuration App may be used to select V1 (deprecated and disabled), V2 (depreciate but functional) to specify the VOB, VOB details (branches, etc), and CQ record type.  For the new 10.x releases, this includes a new tab to specify a CQ schema and have the app add the required CQ OSLC package and CC objects for CMI integration.

The new functionality that I was hoping to see in the CC/CQ Integration Configuration App was to offer a tab to select or enter fields for the V2 perl file details and update that file rather than require the admin edit the raw source file.
