Establishing the Rational ClearQuest Web interface

If the Rational® ClearQuest® client is installed on a developer system, it is used by default. If the Rational ClearQuest client is not installed on a developer system, the Rational ClearQuest Web Interface is the default interface. To enable a client to use the Rational ClearQuest Web Interface, set the following configuration parameters in the configuration file or the environment variables from the command-line prompt:

Configuration parameter or environment variable
CQCC_CQWEB_VERSION
Because two versions are supported, configure the correct protocol. 2.0 (Rational ClearQuest Web Java protocol) is the default. 1.0 (Rational ClearQuest Web ASP) is for earlier Rational ClearQuest Web servers.
CQCC_SERVER
Specifies the name of the host at which the Rational ClearQuest Web server resides and uses port 80. To specify a different port, add to the host name a colon (:) and the number of the port; for example, myhost:81 specifies that port number 81 be used instead of port 80.
CQCC_SERVERROOT
Specifies the root directory in which the Rational ClearQuest Web Interface files are installed; usually cqweb.
CQCC_SERVER_SSL
Specify TRUE to enable secure communications for the Rational ClearQuest Web connection. The URL is set to use https:. Specify FALSE (the default) to use http: as the protocol.

If you enable secure communications, more time is used to establish a new connection when a trigger fires and a connection to a Rational ClearQuest user database is required relative to establishing an ordinary connection.

Configuration parameter only
CQCC_CQWEB_ONLY
Set this to force use of the Rational ClearQuest Web Interface even if the Rational ClearQuest client is installed.
