DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite and add a powerful capability to DevOps Code ClearCase and . With MultiSite, developers at different locations can use the same DevOps Code ClearCase versioned object base (VOB) or . For DevOps Code ClearCase, each location (site) has its own copy (replica) of the VOB. At any time, changes made in one replica can be sent in update packets to other replicas. You can manage replicas by using the command-line tools.
Not all information is replicated across replicas. (For example, in general, site-specific information is not replicated.) This section shows what information is and is not propagated among replicas.
Each replica is a VOB, but the VOB object and VOB-replica object are different objects in the VOB database.
Before you install and use DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite, you need to plan your implementation.
This section summarizes the commands for DevOps ClearCase® MultiSite and DevOps ClearCase that display DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite information.
The method you choose for transporting packets between replicas depends on connectivity. If your replicas do not have IP connectivity, you must use a file-based transport method. If your replicas have connectivity, you can use the store-and-forward facility.
Feature levels allow different replica hosts in a VOB family to run different versions of DevOps Code ClearCase®. You can raise the feature level of either a single replica host or an entire VOB family.
Before creating a replica, you must make decisions about branching, mastership, identities and permissions preservation, and method of packet delivery.
Replica synchronization uses the same export-transport-import procedure that is used during replica creation.
You can use DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite to back up a VOB and to provide access to VOBs in a heterogeneous network.
When you encounter a situation where running a DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite command produces an unexpected result, or produces a warning or error message, the information in this section can assist you in troubleshooting the problem.
