Chapter 19 Improving ClearCase LT Server Performance

This chapter presents techniques for improving the performance of Rational ClearCase LT on the ClearCase LT server.

Your organization's VOBs constitute a central data repository. Good ClearCase LT server performance ensures that this centralized resource does not become a bottleneck.

The work of a ClearCase LT server involves both read and write access to the VOB database as well as periods of significant computation. VOB access patterns can greatly influence the number of concurrent users that a ClearCase LT server can support at a given level of performance. For example, many more users can read from a VOB directory at a level of good performance than can write to the same directory. For information about the characteristics of a good a ClearCase LT server, see Chapter 7, VOB Server Configuration Guidelines.
