Compatibility Information
• ClearCase not been integrated with SoftBench 8.01
The integration of ClearCase withSoftBench was available till SoftBench 6.85 on PA.
ClearCase has not yet been integrated with SoftBench 8.01 on IPF.
• The WDB-GUI is bundled with SoftBench as default debugger
SoftBench now provides an integration with WDB 4.0and later versions.
WDB is not tightly integrated with SoftBench. When WDB is running within SoftBench,
WDB responds to START, STOP, ICONIFY, NORMALIZE, LOAD, and SET-BREAKPOINT
requests from the SoftBench tools. It does not honor program settings configured in the
SoftBench main window and will not make requests to the other tools.
• SoftBench 8.X Removes SoftDebug
Since DDE has been obseleted on IPF, SoftDebug has been removed from SoftBench 8.01
and WDB-GUI has been made the default debugger.
