Locating the configuration file
When DevOps Code ClearCase® is installed, the following file is placed on the system:
ccase-home-dir\lib\CQCC\configTemplate.plIf there is no existing file with the same name, the following file is also placed on the system:
ccase-home-dir\lib\CQCC\config.plIf the local configuration file config.pl exists, the installation tries to avoid replacing that file because it contains your changes. The installation action depends on the platform type.
- On Linux and the UNIX system, no new version of the config.pl file is
installed. The current version is preserved.
To take advantage of the latest changes, copy the new information from the configTemplate.pl file to the config.pl file.
- On the Windows® system, if the installed version is not modified
(based on comparing the date stamp on the file and the original installation
date), the latest version of the config.pl file is installed.
If the installed version is modified, no new version of the file is installed. The current version is preserved.
To see the latest changes in configuration information, compare the config.pl and the configTemplate.pl files. If you make changes to your configuration, edit the configTemplate.pl file and save the changes to both configTemplate.pl and config.pl. By locating the configuration file in a central place, you simplify the task of implementing the latest changes.
If you uninstall DevOps Code ClearCase, both configTemplate.pl and config.pl are removed from the system. However, on Linux and the UNIX system, the config.pl file is first copied to the standard file preservation area and then removed from its original location.
