Switching between Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearCase Remote Client

If you have installed both IBM® Rational® ClearCase® and Rational ClearCase Remote Client on your computer, you can switch between the two software configuration management systems by specifying the software configuration management client type in the ivory.properties file.

Before you begin

To modify the ivory.properties file, you must have the appropriate permission.

Procedure

  1. Close Rational Functional Tester
  2. Open the ivory.properties file available in the <Functional Tester install directory>\Functional Tester\bin\ folder
  3. Set the rational.test.ft.cm.clienttype parameter to CCRC or NATIVE_CC. For example, if you set the rational.test.ft.cm.clienttype=CCRC, Rational Functional Tester uses Rational ClearCase Remote Client to connect to the repository.
    Note: You can use only one software configuration management client type in a session.
  4. Save the ivory.properties file and start Rational Functional Tester.
    Important: While sharing a project, do not select IBM Rational Functional Tester from the repository list. This might result in unexpected behavior and data loss.
