If you use both Rational® ClearCase® MultiSite and Rational ClearQuest® MultiSite, you use the
same shipping server for both products. The shipping server is installed when
you install Rational ClearCase MultiSite.
Note: If you use Rational ClearQuest MultiSite and Rational ClearCase, or Rational ClearQuest MultiSite alone, you
must install the shipping server.
The following restrictions apply when you use both
Rational ClearCase MultiSite and
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite:
- You must use different storage classes for VOB replica packets and Rational ClearQuest database
replica packets. You can create storage classes (up to 64 in total) and use
the –sclass option to specify a particular class. If you do not use
the –sclass option, the default class is used:
- For Rational ClearCase MultiSite®,
the default storage class is –default. It is created when you install Rational ClearCase MultiSite.
- For Rational ClearQuest MultiSite,
the default storage class for multiutil commands that use the –sclass option
is cq_default. The shipping_server and mkorder commands
use –default as the default class.
The cq_default class
is not created during installation. If you plan to use this class, you must
create the class and its shipping and return bays.
If you do
not create the cq_default storage class, you must create another class
for use with Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, and use the –sclass option
in multiutil commands to specify that storage class. If the cq_default storage
class does not exist and you do not specify the –sclass option in
a multiutil command, the packet is placed in the storage bay associated
with the –default class, which can cause problems at the importing
site.
- You must use different bays for Rational ClearQuest MultiSite storage
classes and Rational ClearCase MultiSite storage
classes.
- If you uninstall one product, the other one may stop working. You must
uninstall both products and then reinstall the one you want to continue using.
Follow these recommended guidelines when you use both
Rational ClearCase MultiSite and
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite:
- When you export a packet for a Rational ClearQuest replica,
use the –sclass option and specify a storage class.
- Enable e-mail notification for shipping server operations and specify
an address to use only for messages originating from Rational ClearQuest MultiSite operations. .
