Rational ClearQuest MultiSite

Rational® ClearQuest® MultiSite adds a powerful capability to Rational ClearQuest. With Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, developers at different locations can use the same defect-tracking database set (a schema repository and its associated user databases). Each site has its own replica set (copy of the database set). At any time, changes made in one replica can be sent in update packets to other replicas. You can automate the update process or start it manually with a command.

An organization can use Rational ClearQuest MultiSite to distribute independent, but related, development efforts across multiple cities, nations, or continents. For example, a company in the United States has development and testing sites in India, Argentina, Japan, and Australia. Because it is not practical for all engineers to access the defect-tracking databases in the United States, the company uses Rational ClearQuest MultiSite to distribute the development.

Rational ClearQuest MultiSite can also be used at a single geographical location to let independent groups work with the same development data or to be a backup mechanism. For example, a company that wants extra reliability for backups can create local replicas for a defect-tracking database set.
