Synopsis
Most ClearCase configuration options can be set using a cleartool command or a ClearCase GUI. Only a few require you to edit a text file (on UNIX and Linux) or a Windows registry key as described here.
Description: UNIX and Linux system files
Files in /var/adm/devops/clearcase
Anyone can read the information in this directory, but only the root user can modify it.
- license.db
- (License server host only) The license database file, which defines a set of ClearCase licenses. See the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide.
Files in /var/adm/devops/clearcase/config
Anyone can read and write information in this directory to configure the local host, with the exception of rgy_hosts.conf and rgy_region.conf. Only the root user can modify these two files to configure the local host.
- alternate_hostnames
- If a host has two or more network interfaces (two or more separate lines in the
/etc/hosts file or the hosts NIS map), you must create a file with this name on
that host to record its multiple entries. For example, suppose that the
/etc/hosts file includes these entries:
159.0.10.16 widget river-005 wid 159.0.16.103 widget-gtwy river-105
In this case, the alternate_hostnames file should contain these names:
widget widget-gtwy
Only the first host name in each hosts entry must be included in the file. The file must list each alternative host name on a separate line. There is no commenting facility; all lines are significant. If a host does not have multiple network interfaces, this file should not exist.
- automount_prefix
- By default, the UNIX or Linux automount program mounts remote directories under
/tmp_mnt. If automount uses a different location, you must
specify it in file /var/adm/devops/clearcase/automount_prefix. For
example, if your automatic mounts take place within directory /autom,
create an automount_prefix file containing this line:
/autom
- bldserver.control
- Controls the way in which a host is used during parallel builds. See the DevOps Code ClearCase Guide to Building Software.
- license_host
- (Required for each ClearCase host) Contains the name of the host that acts as the ClearCase license server host for the local host.
- snapshot.conf
- Configuration information for semi-live VOB backup. For more information, see the vob_snapshot reference page.
- admin.conf
- Controls whether this host's ClearCase properties can be changed by a user logged on to a remote host.
- db.conf
- Configuration information for the file, vista.tjf, which is a journal of
VOB updates. This file can grow large, especially as a result of such operations as
rmver, rmview, rmtype, and
scrubber. To limit the size of vista.tjf, create the file
db.conf (in /var/adm/devops/clearcase/config) and add the line
–journal_file_limit bytes
where bytes may not be less than 5000000. Setting this value too low may degrade performance.
- lockmrg.conf
- Changes the default startup options for the lockmgr. For more information, see the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide.
- rgy_hosts.conf
- Specifies this host's registry server and backup registry server hosts.
- rgy_region.conf
- Specifies this host's registry region.
Description: Windows registry keys and files
Values in registry key
The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion.
If necessary, you can modify these values directly with a Windows Registry Editor.
Registry key |
Description |
---|---|
snapshot |
Configuration information for semi-live VOB backup. For more information, see the vob_snapshot reference page. |
LockMgrCommandLine |
Changes the default startup options for the lockmgr. For more information, see the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide. |
DomainMappingEnabled |
Enables this host to use domain mapping (to support ClearCase access by users from multiple Windows domains), as described in the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide. |
Files in \var\config
Anyone can read or write to this directory.
db.conf |
Configuration information for the file, vista.tjf, which is a journal of VOB updates. This file can grow large, especially as a result of such operations as rmver, rmview, rmtype, and scrubber. To limit the size of vista.tjf, create the file db.conf (in ccase-home-dir\var\config) and add the line –journal_file_limit bytes where bytes may not be less than 5000000. Setting this value too low may degrade performance. |
