configuration management Questions

It has been my experience to locate snapshot view storage locations on the client in favor of performance over backup. IBM does not recommend this.

I have done this in the past because if the remote location is lost, the real value of view is lost (e.g., checked out elements that have been modified, etc.), regardless of whether the view storage location was also lost, or was located on a server.

The only reason I can see to keep the storage location on the server is that it makes it easier to remove the view if the view contents are lost (e.g., using rmview). However, if the view storage location is lost, it is still possible to remove the view from the registry with a few extra steps (unregister and rmtag).

Are there other reasons it is recommended to keep the view storage location on a server besides this one?

I can understand why you would want dynamic view storage located on the server, but question the tradeoff of performance if you have an excessive number of snapshot view locations on a server.

Thanks!

I would like to find all recent baseline created since 1 hour (1 minute or 1 day). We have are working on a project which contains more than 50 project vobs with so many baseline that it is impossible to draw the global list of baseline.

I found the command 'cleartool find -avobs -kind baseline' for the complete list but it is too long to run.
I added the parameter '-version "created_since(20-Apr-11)"' to the cleartool find command, but it doesn't do what I expected it would.

Do you have any idea on how I could quickly find the recent baseline?

Thanks.

I need to know if there is a way to log all the client requests to the CM Synergy server on the Server. I know that the Client maintains a log, but is there a way to log them on the server as well.

I need to specifically know when each user last updated the source code.

We are an interop shop currently upgraded to CC/CQ 7.1.1.1 Our vob/view server is unix (SOL). End users are all Windows XP Prof OS (some Linux later)

One of the uses for Rational is a 4 year old home grown DocMgmt app which uses CQ as the document request meta data piece and CC as the document repository for the documents.

One of our user groups (call them TEO for 'Their Eyes Only') wishes to use the system, but needs more security than what is provided currently. Clearcase is set up with only one Clearcase group which has access to all VOBS in an effort to reduce operational maintenance costs (I'm told). However, this means anyone who can create a view, in any region, on any stream on any VOB.

I would like to create a special TEO DEV stream off of the DocMgmt INT stream we now have with 10,000 tech docs in it and create a trigger to validate who is creating a view on the stream and prevent them from doing so if they are not one of a list of ten network IDs. If necessary, we could create a network group and place TEO users in it or just maintain the list with the trigger.

Can this be done and any special considerations?

Thanks,
