config_ccase
ClearCase and ClearCase LT
configuration
SYNOPSIS
Most ClearCase configuration options
can be set using a cleartool command or a ClearCase GUI. Only a few require
you to edit a text file (on UNIX) or a Windows registry key as described here.
DESCRIPTION—UNIX SYSTEM FILES
Files in /var/adm/rational/clearcase
Anyone can read the information in this
directory, but only the root user can modify it.
- license.db
- (License server host only) The license
database file, which defines a set of ClearCase licenses. See the Administrator's Guide.
Files in /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config
Anyone can read and write information
in this directory to configure the local host.
- alternate_hostnames
- If a host has two or more network interfaces
(two or more separate lines in the /etc/hosts file or
the hosts NIS map), you must create a file with this name on that host to
record its multiple entries. For example, suppose that the /etc/hosts file
includes these entries:
In this case, the alternate_hostnames file
should contain these names:
Note that only the first host name in
each hosts entry must be included in the file. The file must list each alternative
host name on a separate line. There is no commenting facility; all lines are
significant. If a host does not have multiple network interfaces, this file
should not exist.
- automount_prefix
- By default, the UNIX automount program
mounts remote directories under /tmp_mnt. If automount uses
a different location, you must specify it in file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/automount_prefix.
For example, if your automatic mounts take place within directory /autom,
create an automount_prefix file containing this line:
- bldserver.control
- Controls the way in which a host is
used during parallel builds. See Building Software.
- license_host
- (Required for each ClearCase host) Contains
the name of the host that acts as the ClearCase license server host for the
local host.
- snapshot.conf
- Configuration information for semi-live
VOB backup. See the vob_snapshot reference
page for more information.
- admin.conf
- Controls whether this host's Clearcase
properties can be changed by a user logged on to a remote host.
- db.conf
- Configuration information for the file, vista.tjf,
which is a journal of VOB updates. This file can grow large, especially as
a result of such operations as rmver, rmview, rmtype,
and scrubber. To limit the size of vista.tjf,
create the file db.conf (in /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config)
and add the line
–journal_file_limit bytes
where bytes may
not be less than 5000000. Setting this value too low may degrade performance.
Files in /var/adm/rational/clearcase/rgy
Anyone can read these files but only
the root user can modify them to configure the local
host.
- rgy_hosts.conf
- Specifies this host's registry server
and backup registry server hosts.
- rgy_region.conf
- Specifies this host's registry region.
DESCRIPTION—WINDOWS REGISTRY KEYS AND FILES
Values in Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion
If necessary, you can modify these values
directly with a Windows Registry Editor.
Files in ccase-home-dir\var\config
Anyone can read or write to this directory.
