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.
Administering the DevOps Code ClearCase® registry
The DevOps Code ClearCase® registry is a central repository of information about shared resources such as VOBs and views.
The registry server host
The DevOps Code ClearCase® registry is an integral part of most DevOps Code ClearCase operations, so the registry server host must be stable, available, and accessible to all hosts in the network.
Defining a DevOps Code ClearCase® registry host
You can define a DevOps Code ClearCase® registry host during or after the site preparation process.

About this task

Because a DevOps Code ClearCase community is defined in part by use of a common registry, the registry server host is usually the first computer in the community on which DevOps Code ClearCase is installed. The DevOps Code ClearCase installation program automates most of this process, and by installing or upgrading the registry server host first, you simplify the process of installing and configuring other hosts in your DevOps Code ClearCase community.

A DevOps Code ClearCase registry server does not have to be configured with support for local VOBs and views, although most communities can designate a VOB or view host as a registry server without degrading overall performance.

The procedure for converting an existing DevOps Code ClearCase host to a registry server depends on the host platform type.
