Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Cleartool CMI integration chtask command needs -replace option

Right now, the steps to change the task association of a checked-out element are to:
1. Use chtask -add_task to add the new task

2. Use chtask -remove to remove the old task.

If the second step is missed, or fails, a single change is associated with multiple defects. This can -- in some highly regulated environments -- lead to an audit failure as there may be a requirement that each version is associated with no more than one change request.

    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.


    Reason for this behaviour is that adding new link before removing the old is to prevent risking data loss as this function is not atomic.
