How can I make clearcase windows client to fetch license from other server then the current one?
Till now I'm using license from our local server (say ABC) but now I want to get the license from a central server (say XYZ). Clearcase server is installed on ABC and all the vobs are also located on ABC. I only want to discontinue getting the license from ABC and get it from XYZ. How should I proceed?
You can check the technotes:
"About moving ClearCase servers" for old ClearCase 2003-7.0
Specifying a license host for more recent ClearCase 7.1+-8.x
You can specify the server XYZ in the following file/control panel:
On Linux and the UNIX system, the license server host name is stored in the file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/license_host. You can edit this file with any text editor to specify the name of a new license server host.
On Windows, the license server host name is specified on the Licensing page of the ClearCase program in Control Panel as the value Use license server on host:.
That supposes:
you are using the Flexlm license service (and not the legacy Atria one)
you already have set up the XYZ license server.

Thanks for your support. I have successfully moved from using atria license server to flexlm license server. I have removed license_host file as well as license.db file and modified flexlm_host file in ../config directory. I also applied recommended changes in licensing page of Clearcase program in control panel but still it was pointing to old server for license (even after multiple restart). Then I reinstalled client in my machine and entered the details of new license server. it was then that my clearcase client started pointing to new license server for license. Thanks.

I have two solaris servers.
One server is for clearcase licenses and another is for source code repository.
Unfortunately, somehow licensing server is not working with telnet (its running in single user mode).
As a result, I cannot open ClearCase Explorer as the licensing server is not working.
Now, I wanted to get the sourcecode from the repository server to my local (windows) system.
How can we get that?
We are using ClearCase for SCM.
We installed ClearCase 7.1.1 version. We are using the atria license.
Now we are moving to the flexm license. Every operation is working fine in the server.
But in the client machine log, I am getting this error.
Error: License checkout error from Rational Common Licensing:
The FEATURE name MultiSite with version 1.0 cannot be found
License server system does not support this feature.
Feature: MultiSite
License path: 27000#inhyvwccserver1;
FLEXnet Licensing error:-18,147
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation,
available at "www.flexerasoftware.com".
How to troubleshoot this strange error message?
It is possible (as mentioned in this thread) to see that error when:
the client is aware of at least one multisite vob (cleartool lsvob would list one vob as replicated)
your FlexLm license server doesn't include a multisite license.
Our customers occasionally ask whether our software would run in a "Citrix environment". Which Citrix products make a typical Citrix environment?
How in general does one build a typical Citrix environment for test purposes?
When people talk about "Citrix" they typically mean Citrix's oldest and most widely used product XenApp (older names include Presentation Server and Metaframe). XenApp is installed on a Windows server OS and needs the server role Remote Desktop Services (in earlier versions of Windows called Terminal Services).
To build a test environment:
Designate two physical or virtual machines (VMware Workstation can be used just fine)
On the first machine, create a domain (if you don't have one already) by installing a Windows server OS and running "dcpromo"
Install the role service Remote Desktop Licensing and activate it (you do not need any licenses)
On the second machine, install a Windows Server 2008 R2 and enable the Remote Desktop Services role. Point it to your DC for licensing. Make sure you set the licensing mode to "user".
Now you can install XenApp. You also need a Citrix license service on one of the two machines.
Note: For this scenario you need Windows OS licenses and Citrix XenApp licenses (at least for one concurrent user)
When you have installed all this you can install the Citrix client (called Online Plug-in) on any computer and connect to applications you have published on the XenApp server.
I need to move windows CCRC Views to unix CCRC server, so:
What are all the Prerequisite should i have to check ?
How to move all user access to Unix CCRC server?
how to access CCRC server via windows CCRC client ?
Having done that kind of migration:
I simply re-installed CCRC server (like any other ClearCase installation, following the general pre-requisites from the manual)
I didn't have to declare any kind of user access (you just need to make sure the user logins are still valid on the new Unix server: 'id -a auser' should works.
Any CCRC client, windows or Linux, will be able to access the new CCRC server, provided they:
change the connection address
re-create their web views (I din't move the view storages: it was easier for them to recreate what they need)d.
Note: a Unix CCRC server won't be able to access Vob servers on Windows, only Vob servers on Unix.
If your current Windows CCRC was accessing Unix Vob server, then the migration will be easy.
If not, that would mean migrating Vobs from Windows to Unix, and that is quite another task ;)
Where would you find an IBM ClearCase client (not CCRC ClearCase Remote client) evaluation software installation for Windows?
To my knowledge, there isn't an "evaluation version" of ClearCase.
If you are registered as an IBM client, you can download the full product and then ask for an evaluation key.
There was also a remote session for you to evaluate ClearCase or ClearCase with Eclipse (you connect to a remote IBM server where the product is already installed and where you have 3 hours to explore).
But I don't know if this program is still active.
You need to have a valid Passport Advantage account to download most IBM products.
