Understanding about Multiple ClearCase Region Support on CCRC 7.0.1 Servers

CCRC 7.0.1 servers now support multiple Rational ClearCase regions on a single server.

Users can be mapped to different regions depending on their username and primary group setting on the client side.

A Rational ClearCase administrator can specify or modify a mapping file (from username or group name to region) on the server.

Note: In previous releases, a Rational ClearCase Remote Client server could be set to support only a single Rational ClearCase region.

Below is an illustration of how the multiple region mapping feature in CCRC 7.0.1 can be leveraged




Default Region for CCRC Must be Specified

When a CCRC user does not have a valid mapping, and the Rational Web Platform (RWP) server does not have a default mapping, the CCRC user will receive the following error:

Unable to create a view at "C:\ccweb\user1\user1_view_a": error detected by ClearCase subsystem
ccweb: Error: Attempt to get host's network region failed: error detected by ClearCase subsystem.

(screenshot)


This error is an indication that the region is not set in the region map file as defined by the -user_region_mapfile specified by the RWP servers ccweb.conf file.

Example:

= { %DEFAULT% }
