About locally stored information

Between invocations, the integration stores information in local files on the end user host. The locally stored information is used to track operations that span multiple trigger calls. This information is kept in files with names in the format .cqcc_text. On Linux and the UNIX system, the files are stored in the user home directory. On the Windows® system, the files are stored in the user profile folder under \Application Data\DevOps\CQCC\.

Tip: The Rational® ClearQuest® login information is encrypted in a locally stored file (.cqcc_params). To change to an alternate Rational ClearQuest login account, remove this file. If the file is not found, a new login is forced when the trigger is next called and the new information is stored in the file.

Product note: Because the integration stores information in one central location dependent on the identification of the user, it cannot be safely run in multiple shells or windows on the same machine at the same time under the same user identification. And, on Linux and the UNIX system, the integration cannot be run under the same user identification on different machines because the information is stored in the user home directory.
