19.1 Minimize Process Overhead

The most effective measures for ensuring good performance from the ClearCase LT server are also the easiest to implement:

• Keep non-ClearCase processes off the ClearCase LT server. Do not use the ClearCase LT server to run another enterprise application (for example, a DBMS) or for a critical network resources such as an NIS server on UNIX or a Primary Domain Controller on Windows.

• Keep ClearCase client processes off the ClearCase LT server. Do not use the ClearCase LT server to perform ordinary activities (comparing and merging files, finding versions, and so on) that belong on developer's desktop system.
