Connecting to a Rational® ClearQuest® user database

You must connect to a Rational® ClearQuest® user database to access resources in ClearQuest® repositories.

About this task

To connect, you must enter your login information when you attempt to access a ClearQuest® database. If single sign-on is enabled, you must do this only the first time you access a repository.

Procedure

To establish a connection to a ClearQuest® user database:
  1. Open the CCRC WAN Server dialog box. You can do this in either of the following ways:
    • In the ClearTeam Navigator, click the clearcase server icon icon on the ClearCase® toolbar or select ClearCase > Connect from the menu bar.
    • If you have previously established a connection to the ClearQuest® server, select the ClearQuest® node for that server in the ClearTeam Navigator, right-click, and select Connect.
  2. Enter the URL for the ClearQuest® server in the Server URL field or select a server URL from the drop-down menu. The ClearQuest® server URL generally takes the following form: http://<server:port>/TeamWeb/services/Team. When the ClearTeam Explorer recognizes the URL you entered as a ClearQuest® server URL, the User Name and Password fields become inactive. Click OK to add the ClearQuest® server name to the ClearTeam Navigator.
  3. In the ClearTeam Navigator, click the plus sign (+) next to the ClearQuest® server name to display the ClearQuest® databases.
    When you click on a ClearQuest® database, the ClearQuest® dialog box appears.
  4. Type your user name into the User Name text box.
    The user name must be associated with permissions to access the ClearQuest® user database.
  5. Type your password into the Password text box.
  6. Click OK.

Results

If the user name and password are valid, you are connected to the ClearQuest® user database, and you can explore the contents of the selected repository.
