To specify a VOB that resides on Linux or the UNIX system, first use the Region Synchronizer to import the VOB tag. You can access the Region Synchronizer from the Windows Start menu. Click .
The V2-Perl trigger provides a text-based user interface for developers who use the cleartool command-line interface and a graphic user interface (GUI) for developers who use one of the Rational ClearCase GUIs such as Rational ClearCase Explorer (on Windows platforms) or File Browser (xclearcase on the UNIX system). If you are configuring the integration for the first time, it is better to use the V2-Perl trigger. If you currently use the V1-Visual Basic trigger, evaluate the V2-Perl trigger and consider migrating to it.
The V2-Perl trigger uses a configuration file, which specifies your local configuration parameters. If you set V2-Perl, the Integration Configuration tool fills in the Path field with CQCC/config.pl, the path to the configuration file, and enables Use trigger scripts in Path directory. In this path, CQCC resolves to ccase-home-dir/lib/CQCC on each local client. By default, the cqcc_launch script is installed in ccase-home-dir/bin on each local client. In this configuration, each time the integration starts or a trigger fires on a client machine, the local instances of the configuration file, the cqcc_launch script, and trigger scripts are run.
You can change the path so that the integration uses one central configuration file and cqcc_launch script. In Path, specify a UNC path (on the Windows system) or a full path (on the UNIX system) to your config file as you would normally. In this configuration, you use a central configuration file, central cqcc_launch script, and local copies of trigger scripts.
If you set Use trigger scripts in Path directory, you can use trigger scripts as well as configuration parameters and cqcc_launch script on a central server instead of local copies on the client machines. Triggers installed with this option use the configuration file, cqcc_launch script, and trigger source code in the same location as the configuration file. Placing the trigger scripts in a central location lets you improve security (for example, prevent users from disabling triggers) and increase maintainability (for example, facilitate extending or modifying the original triggers). This is the best configuration because it is easiest to secure and maintain.
The options for using a central location have the following requirements:
/var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/config.pl
On the UNIX system, copy the target config.pl file, not the symbolic link. As a result, no symbolic link must be in the central server location.
