18.1 Overview of the Integration

On Windows platforms, Rational ClearCase LT includes integrations with these Microsoft products:

• FrontPage 98

• FrontPage 2000

• Visual InterDev 6.0

• Office 2000 Web Folders functionality for Word, Excel, PowerPoint

• Internet Explorer 5.0 Web Folders

These integrations provide ClearCase configuration management capability for Web content and Web applications created using these tools. There are two installations, one on the server and one on the client.

The client is a Windows computer that runs a supported Web authoring application. Clients open Webs on the server using a URL and perform checkouts and checkins to a shared view that resides on the server. There can be multiple servers in your ClearCase region. Each server is associated with a single Web content VOB using the default IIS alias. Multiple servers can be configured to share the same Web content VOB.

Server Setup Overview

A summary of the server installation is as follows. Detailed instructions for each step are in Server Set-Up Details on page 383.

1. Install IIS 4.0 (from Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack) or IIS 5.0 (from Windows 2000). IIS 5.0 is installed by default on Windows 2000 Server. If IIS is already installed on Windows NT 4.0, verify that the version of IIS is 4.0. If the IIS version is 2.0 or 3.0, upgrade to 4.0 by installing Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack. To determine the IIS version number, check the value of registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC \Parameters\MajorVersion.

2. Install FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) version 3.0.2 (from Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack) or version 4.0.2 (from Office 2000 CD3, Office Server Extensions, or Windows 2000). The FPSE are installed by default when Option Pack on Windows NT 4.0 Server and Windows 2000 Server are installed. If FPSE were installed along with IIS, you do not need to reinstall them. If version 3 was installed by a previous Option Pack install, you can upgrade to Office Server Extensions.

3. Install ClearCase LT (client or server, server recommended). This sets the value of the Windows registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Atria\ClearCase \CurrentVersion\ProductHome to the directory in which you install the product.

4. Run the Web Authoring Integration Configuration Wizard and follow the instructions. To start the wizard:

• For ClearCase LT Client, click Start > Programs > Rational ClearCase LT Client > Integrations > Web Authoring Integration Configuration.

• For ClearCase LT Server, click Start > Programs > Rational ClearCase LT Server > Integrations > Web Authoring Integration Configuration.

Online help is available. Specify server mode always. Specify local mode only if you have or plan to install FrontPage 2000 on the Web server.
