Shipping server use with DevOps Code ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest
If you use both DevOps ClearCase® MultiSite and DevOps ClearQuest® MultiSite, you use the same shipping server for both products. The shipping server is installed when you install DevOps ClearCase 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 DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite, the default storage class is -default. It is created when you install DevOps Code 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. For more information, see the shipping.conf (Linux™ and the UNIX™ system) and MultiSite Control Panel (Windows™) reference pages.
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 DevOps Code 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.
- 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. For more information, see the control_panel reference page in the ClearQuest MultiSite Administrator's Guide.
