Site configuration properties

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:

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:

  1. Click the property in Configuration Values.
  2. Click Modify.
  3. Enter the ClearCase registry password in the Password box.
  4. 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.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • To set the property to a new value, click OK or Apply.
    • To restore the previous value, click Reset.
