About this task
The synchronization process must be able to read and write
data in the
Jazz™ repository and
Rational ClearCase VOBs.
To enable this, the following conditions must be true:
- The host must have Rational ClearCase installed,
and must have a hardware and network configuration that provides good
dynamic view performance.
- Rational Team Concert™ client
and the ClearCase Connector must
be installed on the host.
- If you plan to synchronize with UCM projects that are integrated
with Rational ClearQuest®,
the synchronization host must have a Rational ClearQuest client
installed. That client must be configured to have access to those Rational ClearQuest databases
that the UCM projects are configured to use, and Rational ClearQuest connection
properties must be set correctly in the ClearQuest Properties area
of the ClearCase Properties page in the ClearCase
Synchronized Stream Properties window.
- Because time-based rules are used when synchronizing with base Rational ClearCase,
the synchronization host and the VOB server hosts it accesses should
use a common time source if the ClearCase Synchronized Stream includes
files and folders from base Rational ClearCase.
- The synchronization process account must have permission to perform
all of the following ClearCase operations on the synchronization host:
- Create views
- Access VOBs
- Checkin/checkout elements
- Create baselines (UCM only)
- Lock/unlock streams (UCM only)
- Create and apply a label (non-UCM only)
- Lock/unlock the branch for the view (non-UCM only)
