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 schema versions
Each VOB has a database schema version that defines the format of the VOB database and therefore determines the types of data and metadata that the VOB can store.
Reformatting a VOB to a new schema
When you upgrade a VOB server host to another version of DevOps Code ClearCase®, the VOB remains at the previous schema version until you reformat it to the newer schema version.
