DataStage and ClearCase better integration

I would like to have better integration with ClearCase, means that when I'll do check out I'll fire a trigger that will set the job as read only, and only a check in will set it back to writable.
I know to do that using the uvsh commands in 7.x versions.
How or is it can be done in ds 8.7?

Do you have a better Idea how to force the developers using CC? (Do IBM have any intention to make it work in a real integration?)

I have search it in the forum with no luck of getting an answer.

p.s. I'm new here. give me some mercy.

Welcome aboard.

Given that integration with source code control systems is implemented through Information Server Manager I don't see how you can cause a trigger to fire.

There's nothing in version 8.7 for achieving what you seek, though the READONLY attribute in the project repository is still honoured in 8.7 so you can continue to use that. There's no guarantee that that will continue, but it's definitely there in version 8.7.

I can't speak for IBM's plans, though there is a paper on version 9.1 at IOD 2012, so we should have some news after that conference.
