ClearTrigger is a minor release focused on improving the already blazing ClearTrigger performance and adding support for the additional Operating Systems; CentOS, SUSE Linux and Solaris x86.

| ABS Introduces "iApproveIt" for the iPhone. |
iApproveIt provides real-time approval/notification for your automated processes...
|
iApproveIt allows managers, administrators, peers or other approvers to give "instant" approvals or rejections that are embedded in the
process and forcibly adhered to by users.
No longer do you have to have to wait for someone to approve some action with slow cumbersome email. With iApproveIt, you can get
instant Approval from one or many people. Get instant "approval and advice" from someone while they're in a meeting, at lunch or
on vacation (if your bold).
iApproveIt is NOT tool-specific. It works with all Rational tools and hundreds of other tools.

| ClearCase Question of the Month: How can I automatically make newly created elements owned the same as their parent directory? |
I am often asked to implement this policy: "When new elements are created, make their user:group ownership match the ownership of the parent directory"
You can write a trigger that will do this by calculating the parent directory's ownership and then performing a cleartool protect on the
newly created element to facilitate the match. There is one written already in the ClearCase Trigger>Triggers section of the forum named PROTECT_LIKE_PARENT.pl.
This script will automatically change the ownership of newly created elements to match the ownership (user and group) of the
parent directory of the new element. ...(more)...
