ClearCase integration with external 3rd-party diff/merge products is accomplished through its type manager. The type managers are defined in your ClearCase folder\lib\mgrs\map. Each map line has 3 parts: the CC filetype, the CC action, and the application. Find Section in the map file for the "appropriate type manager". There you will find lines for CC actions compare, xcompare, which look like this:
z_whole_copy compare ..\..\bin\cleardiff.exe
