Learn about certain circumstances where storing binary files in IBM® Rational® ClearCase® helps automate the build-and-release process in large organizations and make it smoother. This article also discusses issues with binary files and practical solutions to managing them in ClearCase implementations.
Over the years, we continue to face the increasing demand for a highly automated software build-and-release process within large organizations. IBM® Rational® Build Forge® makes it possible to achieve this within all of the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform applications. There is always a huge debate on whether it's a good idea to store binary files in IBM® Rational® ClearCase® implementations or not. For example, see the discussion titled "How bad is [it] to store deployment units in ClearCase?" on the CM Crossroads Web site (see Resources).
This article explains certain circumstances where storing binary files in ClearCase can make the build-and-release process smoother. It also discusses merge problems with binary files and practical solutions to managing them in ClearCase environments.
