About the ccweb.conf file

Question & Answer


Question

What is the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® Web (CCWeb) and ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) configuration file []ccweb.conf[] file and how is it meant to be used on Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX® and Linux®?

Answer

The ccweb.conf file is a configuration file that resides on the Rational Web Platform (RWP) server hosting CCWeb or CCRC clients.

Note: Prior to ClearCase 2003.06.00, an ordinary web server application (such as Apache) was used in place of RWP.

The configuration file can be found in its default location as follows:

Version
Path
Windows
4.2 and later		C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\config\ccweb\ccweb.conf
UNIX/Linux
4.2 to 2002.05.00		/var/adm/atria/config/ccweb.conf
UNIX/Linux
2003.06.00 and later		/var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/ccweb/ccweb.conf
or
/opt/rational/clearcase/config/ccweb/ccweb.conf

As indicated in the header of ccweb.conf, the configuration file needs to be copied from it default location to the working directory on the RWP server.


The configuration file needs to be copied to the "config" working directory as follows:



Version
Path
Windows
4.2 and later		C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\var\config\ccweb.conf
UNIX/Linux
4.2 to 2002.05.00		/var/adm/atria/config/ccweb.conf
UNIX/Linux
2003.06.00 and later		/var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/ccweb.conf or
/opt/rational/clearcase/config/ccweb.conf


The configuration file makes changes to the RWP server for all clients to use and allows a ClearCase administrator to enforce certain policies when clients connect to the server.

A list of the options that can be configured on the RWP host can be found in the ccweb.conf file.

Simply remove the comment indicator (#) that is in front of the option you wish to enable and fill in the desired option as required.


Example:

The following option is found in the ccweb.conf file to change the temporary directory on the RWP host.

# -tmpdir pathname
#
# specifies an alternate location for temporary files. The default
# location is determined by various environment variables which could
# be set for the web server process, and may not be appropriate for
# user access.

To enable this option:

  1. Delete the # in front of the option

    -tmpdir pathname
  2. Replace the pathname with an actual path on the RWP host

    -tmpdir C:\temp

Note: After any change to the configuration file is made you must restart the RWP server for the changes to take affect.




As of ClearCase version 7.1 the ccweb.conf file is no longer used. Refer to Migrating from Rational Web Platform to CM Server for further details.
