Below is a more in-depth description of these exciting new courses and features from Timefold.

More NT-specific examples and information

While all of the strategies and practically all of the commands we show you work on NT and Unix alike, there are some additional features in ClearCase on NT that you'll want to use and we'll show you how!

You'll learn about the ClearCase Explorer, which provides a graphical interface for all the view, vob, branch and label commands, and more. Most of the commands that you execute on the command line are available through the Explorer.

You'll learn about the Merge Manager which keeps track of where you are in a merge. It helps you do what findmerge does with fewer manual steps.

You'll learn about the ClearCase Details graphical tool which shows information about files in your view.

Plus you'll learn NT specifics about views and vobs, and the course will touch on compatibility issues across Unix and NT environments.

All this will become part of the standard Learn ClearCase course.

More Unix-specific examples and information

We plan to add more information on the graphical VTREE Browser and XClearCase, a graphical user interface for ClearCase.

Software Builds under ClearCase

You'll learn about derived objects and configuration records. You'll learn how to use ClearMake to perform builds. This information will be made part of the standard Learn ClearCase course.

The TOES Glossary

We're in the process of developing an interactive glossary which will help people who use courses for reference. Most entries will have links back into the course materials, so the glossary will be another way to quickly find specific information in the courses.

Company Policy Links

We want the Timefold courses to work with your company's policies and procedures. As a special service to corporate customers, the Timefold web site will provide a page where your company can maintain its own set of links. Those links will automatically be appropriately placed throughout the courses and web pages of the Timefold site. Your company's links will only be accessible to users with licenses associated with your company. Your company's engineers can use the links to browse directly from the Timefold web site into your own policies and procedures intranet web.

What does that mean?

It means that when your engineers are taking a Timefold Online course they will see links to your own policy and procedure web pages. It means that the Timefold site can be an integrated part of your own internal training materials. It means your engineers will not only learn the ClearCase product and how to use it, they'll also learn your own policies and procedures at the same time so they can use it they way you want them to use it.

The Company Policy Links feature is only for corporate customers who buy multiple training licenses. A separate annual license fee applies. That single license fee entitles all of your engineers to use the Company Policy Links, no matter how many course licenses you have!
