General configuration of the CCRC WAN server

About this task

The CCRC WAN server gets most of its configuration information from a text configuration file that is stored in the ClearCase® configuration directory on the server: /config/ccrc/server.conf. To change the server's settings, edit the values in this file. By default, this file does not exist when the CCRC WAN server is first installed. Therefore, the server uses reasonable default values for the settings. If you upgrade a 7.1.x CM Server system to the 8.0 CCRC WAN server, the installation process creates a "server.conf" file that preserves the 7.1.x MBean-based configuration settings that are relevant to the new server. To override any or all of these default settings, copy the sample file provided to "server.conf" in that same directory: /config/ccrc/server.conf.sample

The sample file contains a description of the file format and usage, describes each configuration setting, and gives its default value, commented out (disabled). For example:

#############################################################
# This parameter provides an optional way to control the
# server capacity from ... [long description elided].
#
# The default value of this parameter is 200.
#
# ccrcMaxSessionsOverall = 200

To override the default setting for a particular configuration parameter, remove the comment character (#) character from the line, and then change the value. Save the file.

To view the current configuration settings for your CCRC WAN server, point your web browser to this URL on your server:

http://ccrc-wan-server/ccrc/admin/settings

When you view the settings in your browser, the CCRC WAN server reloads the settings from the server configuration file and starts using them immediately. It is not necessary to restart the ClearCase Remote Client WebSphere profile for these changes to take effect. You can also use your browser to view a list of the current active or idle sessions on your CCRC WAN server:

http://ccrc-wan-server/ccrc/admin/sessions

When web view users log in to the CCRC WAN server, their sessions are displayed on this page. After a user has been idle for a certain length of time (controlled by the "ccrcLoginSessionTimeout" configuration parameter), the user's session is removed from the page.
