This chapter describes how to configure various repositories.
You should have Clearcase client installed on the build machine. Also you should make sure that the account running your application server or servlet container is able to access your Clearcase server and that it can make snapshot views. Here is the list of properties you should configure for this repository:
Name of the Clearcase server-side view storage location which will be used as-stgloc option when creating Clearcase view for the current project. Either this property or "Explicit path for view storage" property should be specified.
This property is required only when the Clearcase view stgloc name property is empty. If specified, it should be parent directory of .vws directory for created snapshot view. For example, if you specify \\server1\dir1 here, QuickBuild will use \\server1\dir1\<view tag>.vws as the -vws option to create Clearcase view. Here <view tag> will be replaced by actual view tag.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
This value should be a writable UNC path on Windows platform. |
Config spec used by QuickBuild to create Clearcase snapshot view for a build. If you copy the config spec from your dynamic view, do not forget to add load lines after the config spec for each directory you need, like this:
include \\server\ClearCase\configspecs\myconfigspec.txt load \myvob\modules\module1 load \myvob\modules\module2
This property will take effect if there are some LATEST versions from some branch to fetch in the above config spec. It is used by QuickBuild to determine, if there are any changes in the repository since the last build. This property consists of multiple entries with each entry per line. Each entry is of the format <path>:<branch>. <path> is a path inside a vob. This path should start from the vob name, for example: \myvob\modules\mymodule. <branch> stands for name of the branch. For sub branches, you don't need to specify the names of any "super" -branches, just the name of the actual branch is enough.
You may optionally specify extra options for the cleartool mkview sub command used by QuickBuild to create related Clearcase snapshot view for the current project. Options that can be specified here are restricted to -tmode, -ptime, and -cachesize. For example you can specify -tmode insert_cr to use Windows end of line text mode.
Specify path to your cleartool executable file. For example: /usr/local/bin/cleartool. It should be specified here, if it does not exist in the system path.
Number of seconds current repository should be quiet (without checkins) before QuickBuild decides to check out the code from this repository for a build. This is used to avoid checking out code in the middle of some other checkins. This property is optional. When set as 0, quiet period will not be used before checking out code to build.
Choose login mapping for this repository. Login mapping is used to map repository login to QuickBuild user. It can be configured at "login mappings" tab of the configuration.
