Defining the Rational ClearQuest user database and database set

By default, the base ClearCase integration with Rational ClearQuest uses the SAMPL user database with a defect record type. Use the configuration parameter CQCC_DATABASE_ENTITY_LIST in the configuration file to specify the logical name of the Rational® ClearQuest® user database and record types in your production environment that support associations. You can specify multiple record types per database. For each Rational ClearQuest user database, you must provide, in a list format, record types (entities) that accept DevOps Code ClearCase® associations. This list is used to provide choices to the developers when they make associations.

Use the following format:

dbname1: entity1,entity2; dbname2: entity3,entity4

For an entity, specify the record type. For example:

&SetConfigParm("CQCC_DATABASE_ENTITY_LIST","SAMPL: defect");

The database name is case sensitive. For each record type that you specify, describe the field names in the schema definition.

Database sets (connections) allow developers to select from multiple schema repositories when they start a Rational ClearQuest client or the base ClearCase integration with Rational ClearQuest. Only one database set is supported. In the integration, if your site uses multiple database sets, define CQCC_DATABASE_SET to specify the database set that is used for the integration and for the Rational ClearQuest native client interface. In CQCC_DATABASE_SET, supply the database connection name that you created in the Rational ClearQuest Maintenance tool. For example:

&SetConfigParm("CQCC_DATABASE_SET", "cqcc_db");

If you also use the Rational ClearQuest Web interface, supply this name in CQCC_WEB_DATABASE_SET. For example:

&SetConfigParm("CQCC_WEB_DATABASE_SET", "cqcc_db");

If you set both configuration parameters, the names can differ.
