Configuring a synchronization host

A synchronization host must have both the ClearCase® Connector and Rational® ClearCase installed.

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)
For additional information about synchronization host requirements, see Prerequisites for the ClearCase Connector.
