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

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.

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?

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.

Configure Clearcase server for CCRC and web interface

I have clearcase and clearquest 7.1.2.13 installed in a server.
I want to make them accesible through ClearCase Remote Client and through Web interface.
Also I have IBM HTTP server 6.1(which comes with CC installed in the same machine
How can I acheive this?
Please let me know if any other details are required.
Regards,
Nush
make them accessible through ClearCase Remote Client
That means adding a CCRC server called CMServer which will have access to the vob server.
It was known before as the Rational Web Platform: see "Migrating from Rational Web Platform to CM Server"
(In ClearCase8, it becomes a CCRC WAN Server)
As mentioned in "Deploying ClearCase 7.1 CM server on Windows server 2008 platform", ClearCase 7.1 CM server was developed on top of IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1.
You can use an existing Whepshere server to install the CM server.

Building a Test Citrix Environment

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.

scm:clearcase: and cruise control

Can you please tell me requirement for integration of cruise control build integration tool (Java) and ClearCase client (CCRC 7.1).
How to use scm:clearcase: command in a pom?
Is cleartool needed on the machine to execute scm command?
CCRC is not a ClearCase client. It is a remote ClearCase Client: a GUI which will communicate with a CCRC server through web requests.
It has none of the executable found in a full ClearCase client installation, meaning is scm:clearcase (from the Maven SCM implemantation ClearCase) needs cleartool.exe, it won't work if you have only CCRC (and you can't have both CCRC and a full ClearCase client).
