Sourcing the Rational ClearQuest setup file

Before each use of Rational® ClearQuest®, source the setup file to prepare the shell environment.
  • For csh, tcsh, and other csh-compatible shells, run this command:
    source cquest-home-dir/cq_setup.csh 
  • For sh, ksh, bash and other Bourne-compatible shells, run this command:
    . cquest-home-dir/cq_setup.sh 
Fast path: You might want to add the source command for the Rational ClearQuest setup file to your shell setup script so that it runs automatically.

If you are using the Rational ClearQuest Client, start the client from the command line in the same shell where you sourced the setup file.
