Administering DevOps Code ClearCase®
Learn about performing administrative tasks for a DevOps Code ClearCase® community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, ClearCase server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
VOB administration
Because VOBs are the principal repository for artifacts under DevOps Code ClearCase® control, VOB administration is one of the DevOps Code ClearCase administrator’s most important tasks.
VOB storage management
VOB storage grows in proportion to the number of developers who use the VOB and the rate at which they create and change artifacts in it.
Using the scheduler
You can use the DevOps Code ClearCase® scheduler to automate many VOB storage management tasks.

Using the scheduler

You can use the DevOps Code ClearCase® scheduler to automate many VOB storage management tasks.

The DevOps Code ClearCase scheduler runs several jobs that gather data about disk space used by VOBs and that can reclaim excess disk space used by local VOBs:

Daily data gathering on disk space used by VOBs
Weekly data gathering on disk space used by shared derived objects
Daily scrubbing of VOB storage pools by the scrubber utility
Weekly scrubbing of VOB databases by the vob_scrubber utility
Daily and weekly execution of jobs that you can customize as needed

In many cases, the default set of jobs running on the default schedule are adequate to monitor and manage VOB storage growth. For information about modifying the default set of jobs and the default schedule, see Periodic maintenance.
