  • you select a ClearQuest user database in the ClearTeam Navigator and click the ClearCase server connect icon on the ClearCase® toolbar or select ClearCase server connect ClearCase > Connect from the menu bar.
  • you attempt to perform an operation on a ClearQuest resource in a ClearQuest database that you are not connected to.
  • you are working on ClearCase resources in an environment that is enabled for the integration with Rational ClearQuest and you attempt to perform an operation that requires access to a ClearQuest user database.
