Operations on a HCL Compass resource require a connection to the user database that contains the resource. The Compass dialog box allows you to connect to the Compass user database and the dialog box displays whenever you take any of the following actions and enter the name of a Compass server in the Server URL text box.
  • you select a Compass user database in the ClearTeam Navigator and click the ClearCase server connect icon on the VersionVault toolbar or select ClearCase server connect VersionVault > Connect from the menu bar.
  • you attempt to perform an operation on a Compass resource in a Compass database that you are not connected to.
  • you are working on VersionVault resources in an environment that is enabled for the integration with HCL Compass and you attempt to perform an operation that requires access to a Compass user database.
