Optional tasks for Rational ClearQuest

Windows The databases available to the IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® adapter are the same as the ones in the Rational ClearQuest administration tool on the system on which the adapter is deployed. You can verify that the Rational ClearQuest adapter is correctly configured to access the same set of databases as the Rational ClearQuest client. You can configure the Rational ClearQuest adapter to access another database, or prevent the adapter from accessing a database. These tasks are optional, administrative tasks.
Before you begin
Make sure the IBM Rational Insight Data Services adapters are deployed on WebSphere® Application Server.

If you get any firewall warnings or license errors, correct the problem before verifying the Rational ClearQuest adapter. If you get an error 500 when accessing the URL for the Rational ClearQuest adapter, try opening the database in the Rational ClearQuest client.

About this task
The general tasks for configuring Rational ClearQuest adapter are:
Verifying that the Rational ClearQuest adapter is installed correctly
  1. Open a Web browser.
  2. Enter the URL of the Rational ClearQuest adapter in the address bar of the browser. By default, the URL is http://localhost:9080/DataServices/ClearQuest.
If the Rational ClearQuest adapter is working correctly, you see an XML document that lists all the schema repositories registered with the Rational ClearQuest administration tool.
Note: If you see other resources, you can repeat this step with the URLs for those resources, and see lists of user databases, queries defined in those databases, and individual records returned by those queries.
Adding a database
  1. Start the Rational ClearQuest Maintenance tool.
  2. Define a new connection to the database.
For more information, see the Rational ClearQuest documentation.
Removing a database
  1. Start the Rational ClearQuest Maintenance tool.
  2. Delete an existing connection to a database.
For more information, see the Rational ClearQuest documentation.
