Clear case license issue - clearcase

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.

Oracle Installation for client server connection in lab

i don't know anything about oracle. Our faculty members assign us for setup lab(class lab) in client server connection. can anyone please say what the process and what component i should install and how to configure it.
Lab PC has linux based OS.
N.B. i didn't find any easy guide by googling it.
For the DB, download Oracle Database XE edition from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/xe-downloads.html The installation guide is https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/xeinl/installation-guide.html. You can google for various blog posts etc that will help.
If the "client" computer is on a different machine, then install Oracle Instant Client from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html. The instructions are at the bottom of the page.
If you only have one computer then don't install Instant Client. The Oracle Database libraries can also be used by applications to connect to the database.
you can check my article from here; step by step installation
http://www.cansayin.com/2019/11/16/oracle12c-installation/
You have to install packages for oracle and set some parameter on your operating system before installation.
If I understood you correctly, there's the database server in your lab which has an Oracle database. Your assignment is to establish connection to it from your PC.
If that's so, you'll need to install Oracle Client software. It can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network < a href="https://www.oracle.com/downloads/#category-database">Download section.
The simplest option is to download & install the Instant Client. Navigate to your operating system version, download it and run the setup.
If you visit this page, you'll find installation instructions at the bottom of the page.
I don't use Linux so I can't guide you based on my own experience, sorry.
Once you're done, you'll have to edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file in order to include database's alias (DBA should tell you that information if you don't know it). Basically, that should be enough to establish the connection.

Fetch source code from linux to windows

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?

Error configuring the RAD WAS Portal runtime for a new server instance

I have installed IBM Rational Application Developer version 9.1 from the installation media. The media launches and installs the IBM Installation manager and I've selected the RAD 9.1 package for install. Among the options, I've requested that the "WebSphere Application Server v8.5" be installed, as well as the "WebSphere Portal Server v8.5" and all the options underneath.
Once I launch RAD, I go to the server tab (as instructed by the IBM Portal Developer course) and attempt to create a new WebSphere Portal server. The server wizard wants to know where the installation directory of the server runtimes are located for both WAS 8.5 and Portal 8.5.
For WAS this is simple, I point to the profile "AppSrv01" at the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v85_stub\profiles\AppSrv01
For the Portal Server, I assume there would be a default profile created, but there is not. There are several directories inside the stub directory, but no profiles. The best I can do is provide the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\portal_v85_stub
Seems straightforward right? It complains of the following problem:
The Portal Server installation directory is not correct
Am I missing something here? Are there fix packs I need? Is the portal server runtime included with RAD 9.1 not enough to create and use a local portal server? DO I need to simply create a profile and if so where is the tool needed to do so? (I really really wish someone from IBM would explain this to me and how I am supposed to be indicated to the correct course of action)
IBM is, as usual, being very straightforward and easy to use/understand. Does anyone have any ideas about how I am supposed to proceed? The IBM Developer course that was bought and paid for assumes this step already and before you suggest it, yes I've already sent and am awaiting a response from the organization I am taking the course from.
Not sure I'm getting your description right. From what I can see, you installed RAD using IM from a media. Also, you selected WebSphere Application Server development tools and all underneath it as well as WebSphere Portal development tools.
These development tools options are stubs only, not the actual servers. With this I mean that they're useful for development and compiling purposes only, but not for deployment and testing because they are not the actual servers.
Here is the part that I don't understand. In the media that has IM and RAD, does it also have WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server available for installation? If not, then you need to get them and install them and then your can create the servers pointing to the install location of both servers in RAD. Once you do this, you can use RAD to create the profiles.
Hope this helps.
A few things, Install portal by itself and DO NOT install to a C:\Program Files make it something short like c:\IBM\WebSphere
it sounds like only portal stub got installed, did you have the portal media available as well.
If you install it using the same installation manager, RAD will be able to find it

Clearcase license movement

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.
#VonC
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.

Where is IBM ClearCase client (not ClearCase Remote Client) evaluation software installation for Windows?

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.
