The Site Configuration Properties dialog box displays site-wide values for various ClearCase configuration settings. These values are stored in the ClearCase registry, and are used by all clients of the registry unless overridden locally.
There are two types of site-wide configuration values. You can choose which type to display by selecting one of the following under View values:
- Click ClearCase default to display factory default values for all ClearCase site-wide configuration settings. These values are read-only and cannot be changed.
- Click Site-wide values to display the subset of ClearCase site-wide configuration settings that can be changed. If you know the ClearCase registry password, you can modify the values of these settings to override the factory defaults. Values that have not been overridden remain set to factory defaults, and are displayed as <None specified>.
The following configuration values can be modified:
- view_cache_size
- Integer representing the default size in bytes of a new view's cache
- view_shareable_dos
- Boolean specifying whether audited builds in new views produce shareable derived objects
- view_interop_text_mode
- Boolean specifying whether new views are created in interoperability (insert_cr) text mode
- rfm_gui_visibility
- Boolean specifying whether Request for Mastership controls are visible in the graphical user interface
- checkin_preserve_time
- Boolean specifying whether file access and modification times are preserved when checked in or added to source control from a graphical user interface.
- checkout_preserve_time
- Boolean specifying whether file access and modification times are preserved when checked out from a graphical user interface.
To supply a new value for a property:
- Click the property in Configuration Values.
- Click Modify.
- Enter the ClearCase registry password in the Password box.
- Enter a new value for the property. Note that for properties that have a Boolean value, selecting a value of None restores the factory default.

- To set the property to a new value, click OK or Apply.
- To restore the previous value, click Reset.
