Chapter 5 Configuring ClearCase in a Mixed Network

If your network environment includes a mixture of hosts running Windows and UNIX operating systems, you can share ClearCase data across these platforms. In general, ClearCase hosts on Windows can access VOBs and views that are stored on ClearCase hosts running either Windows or UNIX. ClearCase hosts on UNIX can access VOBs stored on Windows hosts, but only from snapshot views. Dynamic view access from a ClearCase host on UNIX to a VOB on Windows is not supported. UNIX computers can also use the ClearCase Web interface to access data stored on Windows computers.

This chapter describes how you can share ClearCase data across platforms and describes a few constraints that must be considered when implementing cross-platform access.
