Considerations for feature
level 7 features
Full-text search takes advantages of MultiSite technologies that are present in versions of
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite before 7.1.x.
These technologies were introduced in non-MultiSite Rational ClearQuest version 7.1.x and later. As a
result, the full-text search feature level support is different in MultSite and non-MultiSite
installations.
- In non-MultiSite environments with Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x or later, full-text
search is supported in Feature level 7 databases.
- In a MultiSite environment, full-text search is supported in databases at feature level 5, 6 and
7 as long as all the Web servers have been upgraded to Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x.
Considerations for feature level 5 features
- The features Record ID limitation improvement, Synchronization of null values with Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, and Ability to rename a site in
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite in feature level 5 are
disabled in databases created with versions of Rational ClearQuest earlier than 7.0.0. Databases at feature
levels 5, 6, and 7 created with Rational ClearQuest
Version 7.1.x automatically enables these features. If you have databases at feature level 5
with these features disabled and the databases were created before Rational ClearQuest Version 7.0.0, upgrading to feature level
6, or 7 with Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x
enables these features.
- installutil sethighrecordlimit - This command enables Record ID
limitation improvement, Synchronization of null values with Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, and Ability to rename a site in
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite. For more information, see
Increasing the user database record ID limit.
- The feature Storing History Dates in Coordinated Universal Time in feature level 5 is disabled
in all databases regardless of which version of Rational ClearQuest created it. Creating a feature level 6, or
7 database with Rational ClearQuest Version
7.1.x, or upgrading a feature level 5 database to feature level 6, or 7 with Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x enables this feature.
