The issue as I've understood it in the past is that attempts at a CC to P4 conversion have been so slow, due to CC's speed, that people have just abandoned them. There is also the potential for a large amount of metadata in CC that won't translate to P4, but most sites do not use it that aggressively. Triggers are the most often used feature that could give the conversion problems.

Hi, I am in the process of converting our company over to Perforce. We use a multitude of different source controll tools, so I need to convert each of them over to a Perforce repository. CVS is easy, given the supplied script, VSS I have not looked into yet, but the one that has me in a bind is ClearCase.

I am not familiar with ClearCase, so I have no clue where to start. Has anyone been successful in a conversion of this sort? if so, would you be willing to share your scripts to do this conversion?
